Solution

The statement that is not true regarding shape-notes is: "Each shape designated the duration of a note." Shape-notes were indeed designed to help non-music readers learn to read music, and they were based on the syllables fa, sol, la, and mi. However, the shapes do not designate the duration of a note, but rather the pitch.
