Abstract
A musical notation system is provided wherein the twelve pitches of the 12-TET tuning system are represented by horizontal lines placed at the top, center and bottom of four different reference heads. Pitches, intervals chords and scales degrees are named by the positions of these lines at the reference heads and by the relationship between them. Assistant is provided to performers by representing the correlation between these reference heads and positions or keys in the musical instruments as well as a method to aid identify intervals, scale degrees and pitches. Relative note-on is represented in a timing row with demarcation of beats and measures; note-off is represented by the end of the lines as a proportional indication of the duration of sound.
Claims11
A method for producing a fully functional reference head music notation system comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a computer readable medium having a music reference head notation program stored thereon, associated with a computer, said computer having an input interface for receiving musical notes data;
- (b) inputting musical notes data into said interface;
- (c) providing a plurality of reference heads for reference head notation in which said computer associates with musical notes data, said reference heads having different positions in an output displaying vertical or horizontal axis of said reference head notation;
- (d) naming musical intervals according to the relationship of the positions of said musical notes in the discriminatory element of a music notation system, comprising the steps of:
- providing an element to discriminate the musical notes;
- determining if said musical notes are in the same, next or previous positions of said discriminatory element;
- and
- applying a plurality of consonants and vowels to have an exclusive name for each said musical interval;
- (e) correlating said musical notes data with said reference heads by said computer;
- (f) transforming said musical notes data into said reference head notation;
- and
- (g) outputting from said computer, a visual output of said reference head notation.
