Abstract
A method of notating music which displays pitches on a pitch chart, which can be displayed in various embodiments with a range of features including: different colors for each semitone of the octave, a keyboard chart displaying rhythmic value by the vertical height of the notes, a diverse shading of notes to illustrate whether they are to be played at a high sound level or instead at a low volume, and further features of harmonic, melodic, and theoretical analysis.

A method for representing music in a notation system, comprising the steps of:
- a.) musical notes on a pitch chart, where the rhythmic values of said musical notes at a given tempo are indicated by the vertical length of said musical notes on said pitch chart, and
- b.) shading of said musical notes which either fades or increases to illustrate either the fading or increase in loudness of said musical notes,
- whereby said notation system will arguably offer a substantially intuitive display for reading music, in comparison to the prior art for music notation.
A method for representing music in a notation system which displays musical notes in different shades on a pitch chart, where the shading of said musical notes either fades or intensifies to illustrate either the fading or increase in loudness of said musical notes.
A method for representing musical notes in a notation system, comprising the steps of:
- a.) displaying musical notes in such a manner that each of said musical notes within a given octave is of a different color, and
- b.) pitches on a pitch chart, where the rhythmic values of said musical notes at a given tempo are indicated by the vertical length of said musical notes on said pitch chart, and
- c.) a display wherein said pitch chart is a keyboard chart showing some amount of the 88-key range of the piano,
- whereby said notation system will arguably offer a substantially intuitive display for reading music, in comparison to the prior art for music notation.
