Definitions

• the invention is in the field of music and relates to a device for selecting and displaying music data, such as scales and chords, from an arrangement of music data.
• the relatively difficult-to-learn musical notation contains a higher-level, albeit more abstract, but easier to grasp internal law, which can be expressed mathematically and partly in tabular form.
• the mathematical expression of sounds (sound) is, for example, also a series, a function, etc. and all of these can be mathematically and partly display in tabular form.
• Such a representation of the tonal affinity in a tabular arrangement is subject to the same laws as the notation on the staff lines, but it is a different form of expression.
• the aim of the invention is to find a particularly simple form of expression and to create a mechanical means belonging to this form of expression with which the. necessary selection of the related tone groups can also be accomplished in a simple and handy manner.
• Figures 1A and 1B show the assembled but partially exploded slider from the killer and the back.
• FIGS. 1A and 1B show the entire sliding device in a specific real position, namely the F sharp major / F sharp minor setting.
• the sliding tongue 1 is pulled out of the sliding sleeve 2 downwards until at the lowest point of the indicator column 3 for the major / minor keys with # keys and 4 for the major / minor Scale with b-keys an F sharp (Figure 1A) or Ges (Fig. 1B) appears.
• the indicators 19 in this column are arranged in such a way that they represent a scale, lower tone below, higher notes above. Taking advantage of the connection between major and minor, the "scales" with further intervening indicator columns 5 to 9 are arranged in the cadences. Both sides merge, like the fingers of two crossed hands.
• the major cadenzas I and IV are denoted by 9 and 8, the minor cadenzas I and IV by 5 and 6 and the V7 cadenza by 7.
• the indicators 10, 10 ', 10 are designed as" windows ", which can be completely transparent, semi-transparent and non-transparent. Instead of the different types of transparency, differently colored transparent covers can be used. Furthermore, the indicators are arranged in rows and columns. The rows filter pitches or additional information The columns of scales, chords and cadenzas or additional information from the overall arrangement of music data on the sliding tongue.
• the sliding tongue 1 carries the music data, viewed as columns, divided into main music data 17, auxiliary data 18 and special characters 16 arranged in rows Z and columns S.
• the arrangement grid DR (data grid) of this music data corresponds to the arrangement grid IR (indicator grid) of the indicators ("window" 10, 10 ', 10 ") on the sliding case. It is to achieve the screening of desired data sets, here are the different scales , Triads, chords, cadenzas etc. in the two keys major and minor, important how the indicators and the music data for the interplay of sliding sleeve 2 and sliding tongue 1 are laid out.
• the music data and the assigned indicators for the selection of the searched (data) sentences are:
• non-associated tones (G, A, C, D, E) on the sliding tongue 1 are specially indicated by semi-transparency or coloring of the indicators 10, 10 ', 10 "on the sliding sleeve 2; this serves besides, the better illustration.
• non-associated tones (tone designations) on the sliding tongue 1 are covered by the lack of transparency of the indicators 10 "on the sliding sleeve 2 and indicated in the grid, for example by handles.
• Indicators 10 '(FIG. 1A) with half tone indication (#) are provided;
• the sliding tongue 1 with the data grid DR and sliding sleeve 2 with the indicator grid IR have the same row / column grid Z / S '. It is not required that the grid must be strictly equidistant.
• FIGS. 2A and 2B The arrangement of the amount of data of main and auxiliary data and special characters is shown on the tongue image in FIGS. 2A and 2B.
• One tongue side is designed for keys in which elevations (#) and the other tongue side for keys in which depressions (b) occur.
• the intersection of the coincident tones is e.g. C sharp / Des (Z18 / S4 Fig.2A / Z18 / S4 Fig.2B) or F sharp / Ges (Z13 / S8 Fig.2A / Z13 / S8 Fig.2B) on both sides in Grid arranged at the same row / column position. This ensures that the # tone sets and b tone sets are selected for a single setting. This makes it possible to read a scale, triad, etc. with # keys on one side of the slide and read them together with b keys on the other side.
• the sign window (indicator V, top indicator line) points to the correct slide side, e.g. "C minor” and ">” means turning from one side to the (correct) other side in order to obtain the screened information 3b.
• Fig. 1A the cross tone page leads to the grade E in one indicator, other indicators are empty
• Figure IB the B-tone side leads in an indicator 10 to the note Cb or the special character designated with the number 16 '>, which here means "turn", other indicators are empty.
• the small print scale next to the minor scale column is optional and only intended as a transposing aid.
• fis, gis, a, h, eis, d, e fis (natural minor) fis, gis, a, h, eis, d, eis (!), fis (harmonic minor) fis, gis, a, h, eis , dis (!), ice (!), f sharp (melodic
• Triad on the 1st level f sharp, a, ice
• fis (originated from f with cross) corresponds to ges (originated from g with B) and Eisis (originated from e with double cross)
• the stem intervals can be read next to the major scale column. Examples: fis - h is a pure fourth (r4), fis - b is a semitone smaller, i.e. a reduced fourth.
• ges - ais ges - as is a large second (gr2), ges - ais is two semitones larger, ie a double excess.
