0And for that matter, what in heck is 'fis-dur'?? In songwriting, there are no rules of language. In the process of fruitless googling for that, however, I did find out how to use 'descend up', e.g.: 02br
02br
00'A character can descend up to 10" without penalty while Australian rappelling.' 0-

00Looks like "fis-dir" is something to do with music and the golden number/proportions/relations. 02br

0 From what I understand, 'descend up' can be used in the following sense: When 'up' means 'up to a certain point'. Therefore, if I say, for example, "I can descend up to a certain level in the well", it means I can go down only up to a certain point, and no more. See if this fits with your quote. 02br
