Definitions
- This invention relates to a stave scriber, and more particularly to an adjustable stave scriber to enable musicians to print their own manuscript lines on a sheet of paper as and where required.
- each set of stave lines is a fixed distance apart and they occupy the entire page. This means that there is limited space to make notes and set down underneath the stave lines the various types of musical layouts which are often essential to help master the complexities of music.
- stave lines were able to be printed anywhere on a piece of paper to enble the musician to make the best use of the paper. At present the only way to achieve this is to draw the stave lines manually, i.e. with a writing instrument and a straight edge, which is troublesome and time consuming.
- the present invention seeks to overcome or reduce the above disadvantages.
- a device for drawing stave lines on a sheet of paper comprising a frame under which a sheet of paper is to be located and a cursor which is slidable laterally with respect to said frame, said cursor being provided with means enabling the path taken thereby to be drawn on to the sheet of paper.
- the means enabling the path taken by the cursor to be drawn on to the sheet of paper consists of a plurality of holes formed in the cursor at predetermined equally spaced intervals, each being capable of accommodating a writing implement, either sequentially or simultaneously.
- a base board is provided to receive the paper and the frame comprises a pair of rails.
- Preferably mounting plates are fixed to the base board at each side edge thereof and the rails are attached to each mounting plate such that they span the width of the base board. This configuration ensures that there is a space between the base board and the rails to slide the paper on and off.
- the frame may be an elongate strip and the cursor mounted to slide in a central cut-out portion. This embodiment is especially convenient as it is small and may be carried in the pocket.
- An adjustable stop may also be provided to locate on the frame to prevent the cursor travelling beyond a particular point. This would ensure that all stave lines would begin (or terminate) along a common vertical line.
- the base board, mounting plates and rails are preferably constructed from wood and the cursor from perspex, although other suitable materials could be used equally effectively.
- Figure 1 is a plan view of a stave scriber in accordance with the invention
- Figure 2 is a front view corresponding to figure 1 and
- Figure 3 is a plan view of a second embodiment.
- a stave scriber 10 comprises a base board 12 which would normally be constructed from plywood. Rectangular mounting plates 14 are fixed to each side edge of the base board 12 by means of screws 16, as can best be seen in figure 1.
- a frame comprising a pair of rails 18 is fixed to the top edges of each mounting plate by means of adhesive such that they span the width of the base board. A gap is thus formed between the rails 18 and the base board 12 through which a sheet of paper 20 can be fed.
- a cursor 22, which is manufactured from perspex, is supported by the two rails and is able to slide between the said rails along the width of the sheet of paper 20.
- a plurality of holes 24 are formed in the cursor 22 as illustrated in figure 1.
- a moveable stop 26 may also be positioned and fixed at any desired position between the rails 18 to prevent the cursor travelling beyond a particular point thereby ensuring that the stave lines are not staggered, but terminate in a neat vertical line.
- a sheet of paper is fed between the base board and the rails until the point on the paper at which the stave lines are required is level with the cursor.
- a writing implement such as a ball point pen, is inserted successively in each hole and drawn across the paper for the desired length thereby producing the stave lines .
- Figure 3 illustrates a convenient 'pocket' version of the device.
- the frame is an elongate strip 30. very like a ruler.
- the strip 30 has a central portion 32 cut-out.
- a cursor 34 in all other respects similar to the cursor 22 r is positioned within the cut-out 32 and is slidably located in lateral grooves formed in the edges of the cut out portion 32 of the strip 30. Stops 38 may be provided as before.
- a distinct advantage of the invention is that it provides a simple and convenient device for printing manuscript lines on a sheet of paper as and where required.
- plainsong has a four line stave and guitar tablature has a six line stave.
