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 ...
B, also known as Si, Ti, or, in some European countries, H, [1] is the seventh note and the twelfth semitone of the fixed-Do solfège. Its enharmonic equivalents are C ♭ (C-flat) and A (A-double sharp). When calculated in equal temperament with a reference of A above middle C as 440 Hz, the frequency of Middle B (B 4) is 493.883 Hz.

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.
Occasionally, music written in German for international use will use H for B natural and B b for B flat (with a modern-script lower-case b, instead of a flat sign, ♭). [ citation needed ] Since a Bes or B ♭ in Northern Europe (notated B in modern convention) is both rare and unorthodox (more likely to be expressed as Heses), it is generally ...
The continued repetition of a note or chord is expressed by a stroke or strokes across the stem, or above or below the note if it be a whole note or double whole note.The number of strokes denotes the subdivision of the written note into eighth notes, sixteenth notes, etc., unless the word tremolo or tremolando is added, in which case the repetition is as rapid as possible, without regard to ...
B Flat notes. B ♭ (B-flat), or, in some European countries, B, is the eleventh step of the Western chromatic scale (starting from C).It lies a diatonic semitone above A and a chromatic semitone below B, [1] thus being enharmonic to A ♯, even though in some musical tunings, B ♭ will have a different sounding pitch than A ♯.
"b–a–c–h is beginning and end of all music" (Max Reger 1912) In music, the BACH motif is the motif, a succession of notes important or characteristic to a piece, B flat, A, C, B natural. In German musical nomenclature, in which the note B natural is named H and the B flat named B, it forms Johann Sebastian Bach's family name.
B ♭, E ♭, A ♭, D ♭, G ♭, C ♭, F ♭. The corresponding order of keys is off by one: F ♮, B ♭, E ♭, A ♭, D ♭, G ♭, C ♭. Starting with no sharps or flats (C major), adding the first flat (B ♭) indicates F major; adding the next (E ♭) indicates B ♭ major, and so on, backwards through the circle of fifths.
