Have always felt staff good mystery, as a computer professional I, music level also stay in childhood "a flash twinkle sparkling" level. Recently fortunate to know a musical aspect of the "great God", rarely seize an opportunity to ask a good question. The final result is worthy of their own musical IQ, I also from a ignorance of the music of the small white, into a can read staff's rookie (here needs special thanks to this selfless "great God"~). If you are interested and want to know staff, why don't you come over and share the joy of acquiring this knowledge?

We follow three steps to learn:

1. Learn the basic knowledge of simplified.

2. Learn the basic knowledge of staff.

3. Find the correspondence between simplified and staff.

The reason for doing this is because you can easily get to know some basic music theory knowledge through simplified, if you understand simplified, please skip this section. Then we need to know the meaning of some basic staff elements in order to be better in depth. Finally, through the correspondence between simplified and staff, it is easy to read and understand staff. So, let's get started!

First, simplified

As shown in 1-1 , describes the elements that are common in simplified.

Figure 1-1 simplified basic elements

Any piece of music can be divided into any number of "subsections", separated by a long vertical bar (section break). The music uses the tempo to control the rhythm, and the "Beat" is the unit of the note duration. The time of a beat is stipulated by the music requirements, if a minute is required, then a shot is a second. each section has a fixed "number of Beats", which describes the number of Beats per bar at the top corner of the simplified. such as 4/4 clap, meaning is "four minutes for a beat, four beats per bar." Suppose we specify that a beat is a second, then a four-note duration is one second and a bar has four seconds.

What is a four-minute note? We are familiar with1（ Do）、2（Re）、3（Me）、4（FA）、5（Sol）、6（La）、7（si）、0(rests, not pronounced) are four-minute notes, which occupy a pat of the time. If you add an "underscore" (called a minus-time line) under the four-minute note, the note is often halved, or quavers, taking up half the beat. Add two reduced-time lines, which are 16-minute notes, occupy QuarterShooting, and so on. In addition, adjacent reduced-time lines can be merged together. “XThe relationship of the diaeresis1-2is shown.

Figure 1-2 X diaeresis

Figure 1-3 An example of the notes of different beats.

Figure 1-3 example of note beats

If the common note (without any modification), called standard pitch, up / down add one / more black dots, you can increase / decrease the pitch of standard pitch, which is one / more "octaves", Reflected on the piano keyboard is a difference of seven white keys. In addition, changing the pitch of the note does not change the number of beats of the note. As shown in 1-4 .

Figure 1-4 Keyboard

You can also change the pitch of a syllable by using the accent point and the bass point to change the tone of the syllable , or by using the ascending and descending notes.

Figure 1-5- liter and down-tone

In the simplified section, the notes on the left side of a note can change the tone of the syllable. L / drop notes Change a chromatic. 4-1, Standard pitch 1 -liter after the black key to its right, after lowering the tone for the bass 7(no black key). If you use the tone / derating symbol, change one. such as standard pitch 2, after the re-rise of the tone is 3, after the re-down is 1. The ascending and descending notes function only in this section, starting with the symbol of the ascending and descending tones, and ending with the bars, all the symbols of the same syllable must be changed uniformly. If the symbol is stopped before the end of the section, use the restore symbol to restore the original syllable.

In addition, there are some details to note. A "hyphen" (shown in Figure 1-1) requires that a musical instrument be played without a pause between the attached notes, or, if it is the same note, to press the same key repeatedly. Additionally, the "accent notes" are not used in Figure 1-1, which requires special instructions. The attached note is represented by one or more black dots on the right side of the note, which represents half of the number of the original note beats. As shown in the 1-5 example.

Figure 1-6 attached notes

As in the second line, after standard pitch 5 , add an attached note to get 5· Standard pitch 5 originally occupied 1 beats, plus the note after the point 5• The duration is 1+1*1/2=3/2 Pat. If you add two additional points after the standard pitch, the new note 5· The length of the 1+1*1/2+1/2*1/2=7/4 clap. In the third line, add a note after quavers to indicate that the new Note's length is 1/2+1/2*1/2=3/4 . And so on

through the above understanding, we can learn: through the type of note and pitch mark we can get the correct pronunciation, through the time line we can get the pronunciation of the frequent (number of shots). In this way, basically give us a simplified, we can "read" The music out, which also reached our understanding of simplified, grasp the basic theory of the purpose .

Second, staff

It is easy to master the basic knowledge of staff by analogy with the fundamental music theory in simplified. But first we need to figure out the meaning of the "five line" in staff.

Figure 2-1 the "five line" of staff

2-1, the staff five line is not purely five lines, it also contains four intervals, from the bottom up, in turn, the first line, one, the second, the second ... The fourth and fifth lines have a total of nine parts. Each line and between the difference between a "tone", such as 4:3 high a tone, treble 1:7 high a tone, bass 7 than standard pitch 1 lower one tone and so on. Therefore, the line and the room are used to record the height of the notes. And we know that the simple calculation of the bass notes, standard pitch notes and treble notes need to use 7*3=21 position to record, so the above staff is unable to represent all syllables. For this we need to expand the number of "five lines".

Figure 2-2 plus line and extra room

2-2 , in order to show more notes, we can "add the line" for staff, plus the line will also "add room", so that each add a line can be more than two notes. Where upward is called "Up plus x -Ray" and "Up plus x ", downward is called " down plus X-ray" and "Next plus x ". But it is certainly inappropriate to draw all the notes (all white on the piano) to the staff (to add a lot of lines and rooms), defining the treble clef and the bass clef.

Figure 2-3 High, medium and bass clef

The treble clef rules, starting with the staff "next line", is the middle tone C (i.e. standard pitch 1), which in turn defines the other syllables . The bass clef rule starts with the "Top plus line" of the staff and defines the other syllables in turn as the central tone C. The Alto clef stipulates that the middle of the letter "C" of the clef is the central tone C, which in turn defines the other syllables . (usually four lines, if the third line becomes the "sub-bass clef"). The different tone clef defines the syllable 2-4 as shown.

Figure 2-4 High and low tone spectral syllables

The most common in the piano spectrum is the treble clef and the bass clef, so the alto clef is not listed and the reader can launch it himself. We can see that the combination of the tone clef and the line can be defined from the Subwoofer 1 to the super Treble 1 total syllables , these syllables are enough for ordinary music use! and generally in the piano spectrum, will be in accordance with the parallel display of two lines of staff, upstream generally show the treble spectrum (right-hand play, the main part of the treble, Melody), the downward general display of the bass spectrum (left-hand play, the main playing bass, the vice-tone). Obviously, by merging the upper and lower lines of the treble and the bass spectrum (both central C), a wide range of successive strong versions of the "line spectrum" can be obtained. If you need to display the bass spectrum on the uplink or the downlink to display the treble, use the above treble clef and bass clef switch.

Through the understanding of the staff line, we have clarified its basic meaning. So how do you put the song on the staff?

Three, from simplified to staff

In front of the simplified can be more complete description of a piece of music, it involves in the theory of music: bars, beats,X -points, high and low tones, attached notes and so on. So what do these concepts say in staff? Make it clear that we can read the staff!

The concept of bars and beats can be migrated directly from simplified, and in staff, it has not changed (because they are basic music theory). As shown in 3-1 .

Figure 3-1 staff basic elements

And now our greatest concern is the way the notes are expressed. First we need to figure out the basic structure of the notes.

Figure 3-2 Note structure

As shown in 3-2 , the notes are generally divided into notehead, tablature, syllables three parts.

The position of the notehead means that it is either online or between the corresponding syllables , such as the two notes representing the syllables on the third line. If it is the treble, then the midrange 7, if it is the bass spectrum, then the bass 2.

Tablature is used to connect notes, it has a direction. The tablature of the left note in the example is downward (note notehead in the right), the right side of the tablature direction upward (note notehead on the left). The direction of tablature is generally not very strict rules, the key is to draw the notes linked up beautiful. Some places may be agreed three-wire below tablature downward, a third wire above tablature upward, but this does not affect us to recognize the note (the syllable of the note is determined by the notehead position), so there is no further discussion here.

In addition, the same tablature can be connected to more than one character header, which means that the notehead is at the same time playing the syllable (once on the piano press multiple keys).

The existence of syllables is the same as that of simplified in the time-reducing line. Notes without a trailing note (only Notehead and tablature) are called four-minute notes, with a syllables to halve the number of shots, that is, quavers, and so on. As shown in 3-1 .

Staff notes are more descriptive, example 3-2 of the quavers with the tablature direction of the different representations have changed. To be concise, we use charts to list all the possible notes directly.

Figure 3-3 Common notes in staff

The left column gives the form of the note, and the right column gives the form of a rest.

As discussed above, a note with a trailing end is a eight-minute note, halving the number of trailing beats per plus one character. If the syllables is removed, it represents a four-minute note, and if the character head is hollow, it represents the diaeresis, and if the tablature is removed, the full note is indicated. The notation of the attached note is the same as the simplified, which is not mentioned here.

The rest is distinguished from the general note ( 0in simplified), its meaning and its descriptive. It is important to note that the difference between a full rest and a two-point rests. Although their form is very similar, the full rest is painted on the lower side of the line, while the two rests are drawn on the upper side of the line.

Analogy diagram 1-2 The meaning of X-diaeresis, we can draw the staff form of the x -note structure,3-4.

Figure 3-4 staff X -diaeresis

Notice the rightmost four notes of the 16-minute note in the figure, which merges the end of the symbol. Staff often use common lines to combine adjacent notes together in a similar form.

Similarly, an example of an attached note in the simplified (Figure 1-5), we can get an example of staff attached note.

Fig. 3-5 notes of Staff

So far, we have figured out the staff beats and the length of the notes (X -diaeresis and attached notes), the analogy of simplified's content, and we found there are no special high and low tones. Because, staff note of the high and low tone has been online and reflected in the room! The position of the staff note determines its syllable and pitch.

However, there is also a need to elaborate a detail that will specify the song's rising and Falling lines at the beginning of each line of the staff (either upstream or downstream). All notes on this line will be played by the ascending and descending note number (which differs only from this section in simplified), and if the function of the note is stopped, the restore symbol is used.

Back to the example shown in Figure 3-1 , do you still feel mysterious about staff? Maybe you can't wait to "toss" on the piano, so start your music journey!
