The solfege doesn’t change for the octaves (note how the scale goes “do re mi fa so la ti do,” with two “dos” for the same note in different octaves.) So the B is “ti” and the A is “la.”
ok, I’ll update my music. Thanks pulykamell.
Ah I see. Given that you are asking about rhythm notation I think it would be a good idea to arrange your count so that it is accurately positioned above the relevant notes, that makes it clearer to read and will help reinforce what you are learning.
Yeah, sorry if that wasn’t clear. The goal is to line up the counts exactly where they would fall in relation to the notes. Just writing “1 2 &3 4” somewhere in the measure ain’t gonna cut it. 
This is your problem right here. The “1” always, always, always goes at the beginning of the measure. Remember, the beat stays constant, even though the notes may not. So, for example, the first line should look like this:
1 2 3 4
[rest] [rest] I re-
1 2 & 3 4 &
mem - ber Dad - dy’s hands__
1 2 3 4
__ [rest] fold - ed
where “hands” is held over into beat 1 of the next measure. But notice how the “1” of each measure (also called the downbeat) isn’t moving. It’s always the first thing that happens in each bar. Hope that helps!
Edit: Jeez, the spacing got all messed up. I’d probably have to use HTML or something for that, huh? Well… basically, “mem” and “ber” and on 1 and 2, “Dad” is on the & of 2, 3 is held over from that, 4 is on “-dy’s”, & and 4 is “hands”, which holds over to beat 1 of the next measure. Then beat 2 is a rest, and beats 3 and 4 are “fold” and “-ed”, respectively.
Updated Page 1 by realigning my counts and solfege with the notes.
Page 2 is done.
Many thanks Richard Pearse, pulykamell, DooWahDiddy and others for the help. It’s time consuming annotating with Photoshop. But I’ve learned a lot in the past 24 hours. The counts aren’t nearly as hard as they initially seem. There’s nothing like actually making myself write this stuff out to learn it.
Still got 2 more pages for this tune. <sigh> I won’t post those. If these two pages are right, then I think I’ve got the hang of it.
btw, for 16th notes. This song doesn’t have any. Say a measure has a half note, two 16th’s, an eighth and a quarter. how do I represent the 16th notes? I know it starts 1 2 3
thinking these are done. feel free to say they aren’t if you see a mistake. 
One of the things I love most about modern electronic metronomes is the little click sound they make on the one beat.
It can be frustrating to be strumming along and hear that click when I’m not expecting it. I’m supposed to be on my one count and I’m not. I realize somehow, at some point, I missed a beat on my strum.
The old tick tock wind up metronomes were great 25 years ago but electronic is so much better.
The first page is perfect as far as I can tell. The second page has a few bars with a lot of rests in the singing and you don’t have the count following the music e.g., the second to last bar.
I don’t know what the “accepted” way of counting 16th notes is, if I had to I’d probably go “one-a-and-a-two-a-and-a-three-a-and-a-four-a-and-a-” etc.
Edit: If you have a good PDF editor you can make these annotations quite easily. I did my previous example with Preview which comes with the Mac OS and it took very little time.
second to last bar page 2. that’s the C whole note. I just showed 1 2 3 4 for that note. I see what you mean. The piano is playing quarter notes. I’ve pretty much ignored the piano. I’ll play the melody line on my guitar and use that to sing it.
I see, that makes sense, so you were just marking the time for the rests on the melody line.
“One-e-and-a” or “One-e-and-uh” (or written out as “1e+a” or “1e&a”) is the way I’ve always heard. That way, you can distinguish between the second and fourth sixteenth notes of a beat.
I was close 
Looks great, good job!
Music notation can get incredibly complicated. Depends on the style of music.
I’ve made a good start into relearning music notation. Eighth notes, ties, slurs are the basics that’ll get me through a lot of the music I want to play (classic country, and 70’s soft rock). I’ll gradually get better reading and understanding rhythm with more practice and experience. My music teachers can help me with triplets, duplets, tuplets and other “lets”, as I run across them in music that I’m learning.
just to keep it fun my Skype teacher is Scottish. Every now and then she mentions quavers and crotchets. Until I remind her I’m American. LOL
