I had to do some field transcription yesterday. We were having a special session to learn an "extra" form, one that isn't part of the canonical material for lower ranks. Since it was a one-time only affair I wanted to get it written down as quickly as possible to ensure that it wouldn't get lost.
Turns out that it's really convenient to do so using a clip-on pen and a piece of 8.5" x 11" paper. If you fold the paper into quarters it's stiff enough that you can write on it, plus each quarter is about the right width for use with the notation system. You can clip the pen to the paper and stuff the entire thing into the front of your gi (presuming you're wearing one, of course), which allows you to take notes on the spot without unduly disrupting things.
