Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a musical score that can be read in a short time for beginners to music or those who cannot read the conventional staff but want to play an instrument as a hobby, and do not rely on the staff. We propose a new notation as a means to create it. It is also suitable for musical instruments for hand keyboards for beginners (Japanese Patent Application No. 7-254383) filed prior to the present invention, and can be widely used.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional notation methods include a staff notation common to all nations and other musical scores for Taisho Koto. The former excels in accurately writing music, but requires considerable training in reading music, and the latter makes it difficult to visually indicate the length of notes and makes it difficult to visually distinguish between rests and notes. there were. In any case, it is very difficult and difficult for beginners to read music while simultaneously understanding the note name and its length, the type of rest and its length.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems and provides a visually readable notation system which is easy to catch.
It can be expected to be used as a musical score for beginners, those who cannot read staff notation, and those who want to play musical instruments as a hobby. It is also suitable for the score of a beginner's hand keyboard filed prior to the present invention (Japanese Patent Application No. Hei 7-254383). By using both of them, it is easier to read and play music for a wider range of people. It is expected.

[0004]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a method in which all notes are divided into blocks each having a length of one beat, and a conventional note name (corresponding to the position on the staff). As a delimiter for each block under the display of a combination of numbers, dots and sharps (#) Divided in). In other words, the problem was solved by adding the length of the sound to the conventional numerical note name. Moreover, this note name is blocked by the length of one beat, It is possible. In addition, only one type of rest is displayed (that is, a triangle mark (）)), and the types of rests, which were conventionally many types, are unified. Rest length display is the same as note name length display Eliminates the need to remember the type and length of rests. These are described in the notation system according to the present invention. By arranging the harmony (chord name) written in English letters and symbols in the lower row corresponding to, the two major elements of music can be read reasonably and visually without using the staff. did. In the present invention, the division of each note by the length of a note is performed. It is not limited to these.

[0005]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, American folk song "Mary's sheep"
FIG. 1 shows a musical score based on the music notation method of the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows a musical score based on a conventional staff notation. FIG. 3 shows the correspondence between notes and rests on a staff and the notation according to the present invention. FIG. 4 shows a conventional notation system which includes a combination of a note name on a staff notation and a number, a sharp (#), and a dot (•) corresponding thereto. In FIG. 1, reference numerals 2, 5, and 7 denote 14, 14, respectively, in accordance with the notation method of FIG.
It is indicated by a number corresponding to the pitch name of 15, 16. 3 before In this case, the sound length is the same as that of 16, that is, one quarter note. And has the same sound length as 15
Means beat. 11 is rest doing. 1 is a time signature that has the same meaning as 13, 8 is a bar line corresponding to 17, and 12 is a terminal line, similar to 20.

In the case of b / 4 time signature (b = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), one basic beat is a quarter note. A note whose length is longer than a quarter note, for example, a whole note 27j in FIG.
With this notation, a beat is added under the note name “6”. In the case of a / 8 time signature (a = 3, 6, 9, 12), one basic beat is an eighth note. In the case of c / 2 time signature (c = 2, 3), since the basic one beat is a half note, Notation.

All types of rests are represented by one kind of symbol, that is, a triangle (△), and the length is represented by Reference numeral 9 denotes a chord name corresponding to the chord on the staff notation shown in FIG. 5, and represents a chord C, that is, a chord 18 composed of three constituent sounds of do-mi-so. This is written at the top of the score I do. 10 means continuation of the previous chord, and also the section in the upper melody The melody and harmony (code name), which are the most important elements in the music, are made to correspond to the upper and lower rows, respectively.

[0008]

As is clear from the above description, note names and note durations can be simultaneously and easily understood by notation not using staff paper of the present invention, and codes corresponding to these are also added. You can read music. For this reason, beginners to music,
In addition, there is a great advantage in that the conventional staff can not be read, but the difficulty in reading music, which has been a great obstacle for those who want to play musical instruments as a hobby, can be introduced and the performance can be easily introduced. It is also ideal as a musical score for a "hand keyboard for beginners" (Japanese Patent Application No. Hei 7-254383) filed before the present invention, and it is easy to visually catch keyboards, recorders and other wind instruments, Taisho koto, percussion instruments, etc. at a glance. It can be expected that it can be widely used as music. Furthermore, it can be expected as an optimal performance (input) musical score in the field of digital musical instruments, which are expected to spread in the future.
