Now take away the bass clef, and if notes lower than C are needed, give them the appropriate ledger lines. Consider the bass clef but no treble clef. An E above middle C would have been on the bottom line, treble clef. so it'll need the middle c ledger *and its own, above the bass clef.
In this case, however, the piano music is only in the two staffs with the brace around them at the left. The treble staff at the top of the page is only for a singer. When you have notes between two staffs, you will still be able to tell which staff the notes are associated with based on where the ledger lines come from and where the note stems go.
Further to the answer above, don't forget the missing 'middle C', which floats in between the two staves. The treble has E as its lowest note, and the bass has A as its highest,so there's room for the C on its own little line whenever it's needed.Above it, hanging just below the bottom line, is where D lives, and on top of the bass stave, under C, is B.
Mainly they have been written in for guitarists. The R.H. and L.H. for the piano player are there in place, so the tune will sound good as is. However, as Alexander points out, there are often more notes available for each part of a tune, as in a C7 is made from C-E-G-Bb, but not all of them are used by the composer all the time.
Lastly, accidentals only apply to the staff line or staff space on which they are placed. Since the ♯ here is on the second staff line from the bottom (G, assuming this is treble clef), it only applies to that G, not to the F. If the composer wanted an F♯ in addition to the G♯, s/he would have indicated a second ♯ in the score.
Stacked notes mean you play all the notes at once -- a chord. On guitar the best approach would probably be to look at what chord you are supposed to play, as opposed to which specific notes that are in the voicing, as finding a way to play every note on different strings close enough to each other would take even more concentration than (single note) sheet reading already demands from a ...
In France at least, the altered notes are named in a way very similar to the anglo-saxon way: C sharp is "do dièse", B flat is "si bémol". When singing and naming the notes' name at the same time, the alteration is discarded (you would sing the syllable "si" while singing a B flat). –
In most music that has multiple voices on a staff, unless no voice at all plays at a particular point, most of the rests are left out. Otherwise the music would be so cluttered as to be unreadable. The Minuet in G by Bach the OP is working on is a beginner piece, so I wonder if the rest is left in to help explain the idea of voices to a ...
notes on the staff. Also note: for guitar music, it's normally written to be played an octave higher than standard notation, so that most of the guitar's range can be made to fit on just a treble staff (so no bass staff is needed). You'll often see a little "8 va" written on the music, but a lot of people leave that out.
