  2. Accidental (music) - Wikipedia

    As a result, an alternative system of note-for-note accidentals has been adopted, with the aim of reducing the number of accidentals required to notate a bar. According to Kurt Stone, the system is as follows: [1] Accidentals affect only those notes which they immediately precede. Accidentals are not repeated on tied notes unless the tie goes ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_sight-singing

    Numerical sight singing is not the same as integer notation derived from musical set theory and used primarily for sight singing atonal music. Nor is it the same as "count singing", a technique popularized by Robert Shaw in which the numbers sung represent the rhythms of a piece in accordance with the beat of a measure.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_musical_symbols

    Musical symbols are marks and symbols in musical notation that indicate various aspects of how a piece of music is to be performed. There are symbols to communicate information about many musical elements, including pitch, duration, dynamics, or articulation of musical notes; tempo, metre, form (e.g., whether sections are repeated), and details about specific playing techniques (e.g., which ...

    Like all accidental markings, the natural symbol is written to the left of the note head and applies to subsequent notes of the same pitch through the remainder of the measure. A note marked with a natural sign can be changed to a flat or sharp by simply applying the new accidental.

    Notes in it include a prime symbol below the note's letter. Names of subsequent lower octaves are preceded with "sub". Notes in each include an additional prime symbol below the note's letter. The octave starting at tenor C is called the "small" octave. Notes in it are written as lower case letters, so tenor C itself is written c in Helmholtz ...

  7. Sharp (music) - Wikipedia

    In modern notation they do not apply to notes in other octaves or measure, but this was not always the convention. If a sharp is used as an accidental, it can be cancelled on a subsequent similar note in the staff, measure and octave by using a flat (♭) or a natural (♮).

  8. Musical notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_notation

    Braille music is a complete, well developed, and internationally accepted musical notation system that has symbols and notational conventions quite independent of print music notation. It is linear in nature, similar to a printed language and different from the two-dimensional nature of standard printed music notation.

  9. Flat (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_(music)

    The flat symbol (♭) is used in two ways: It is placed in key signatures to mark lines whose notes are flattened throughout that section of music; it may also be an "accidental" that precedes an individual note and indicates that the note should be lowered temporarily, until the following bar line.
