Description

Music book. The invention has such a design - a music book or book on the subject, which evoked by the environment of the notes and (by using the mechanical sheet music turner, problems to be eliminated already avoided without creating new disadvantages.

The best means to date to avoid disturbances when turning the pages is in the hands of the typesetter. With piano sheet music, for example, he must pay full attention to the fact that there is a rest for one of the hands at the end of the sheet music. However, this remedy can by no means always be used and, if it is to be used, it is always connected with not inconsiderable difficulties.

The invention is based on the idea that in most songs surely, le possibility is dimming while playing a music sheet side at least twice d given to get a hand for turning the blade each used freely. Based on: this one idea, according to the invention, the music notebook or book is designed in such a way that the sheets, which are continuously printed or written on in the usual way, are divided into two more or less equal parts parallel to their upper edge between two lines of music. Appropriately, the dividing lines of two successive sheets are arranged offset to one another.

The drawing illustrates an embodiment of the invention.

The individual sheets of the book or notebook shown are divided into two somewhat unequal halves by a horizontal dividing line a between two staves. The parts of the sheet that belong together with regard to the score are each marked individually by a page number that catches the eye. Assuming the case now, the end of the game has reached the end of the upper half of page 3 and goes over to the lower half of the same, so. will certainly give the opportunity during the ex- playing the notes found on the latter once to get one hand free. If this moment occurs, he can turn over the upper half of page3 and, after playing the lower half of page3, go over to the half of page4 that has already been turned over. While playing this, there is then an opportunity to turn over the lower half of page3 afterwards.

Instead of dividing each sheet in the middle, as previously assumed, the dividing lines a and a 'of two consecutive pages can also be offset from one another in the manner shown. This has the advantage that if, for. B. the upper part of page 3 is to be turned over, the risk is reduced that the following sheet carrying pages 5 and 6 is also folded over, since this is overlapped by the upper edge of the lower half of page 3 forming the dividing line and grasping two sheets of paper would be immediately recognizable by turning the lower part of page 3 at the same time. The offset arrangement of the dividing lines also facilitates the turning of the pages in that the respective part of the page to be turned over can then easily be grasped at its edge forming the dividing line.

The dividing lines can either be cut into finished notes, or the notes can also be set from the outset on already divided sheets. The resulting complication is so minor that it takes a back seat to the benefit achieved.
