However, for retrograde cowgirl (RCG) and retrograde inversion cowgirl (RICG) we use the pitch integer for the LAST note in the row. For example, RCG1 would be a retrograde cowgirl ending on C#.

Each cowgirl can be transposed to start on any note from the chromatic scale. For prime cowgirls and inversion cowgirls, we use a pitch integer to specify the starting note. For example, if PCG0 is a prime cowgirl starting on C, PCG3 would be prime cowgirl starting on Eb.

The four types of cowgirl row forms are prime cowgirl (PCG), retrograde cowgirl (RCG), inversion cowgirl (ICG), retrograde inversion cowgirl (RICG).

A retro style scene shows an adult woman with short blond hair gently holding a young girls face, comforting her. The girl has blond hair in a neat side part and wears a pink top, eyes closed as if upset. They are indoors with a framed picture on the wall. Bold white caption across the bottom reads: You mustnt let the dystopian nightmare bullshit dim your fucking sparkle.
