- In some French musical contexts, faire du solfège can be used metaphorically to describe someone who is following the rules too strictly or lacking creative inspiration.
- When practicing 'fixed-do' solfege in France, the syllables like 'do' and 're' always refer to the same absolute pitches, unlike the 'movable-do' often used in English-speaking countries.
