The staffor stave forms the very basis of sheet music. Notes are written on a staff of five lines consisting of four spaces between them. The staff is counted from the lowest line upwards. The lines and the spaces correspond to pitches of a eight-note musical scale depending on the defining clef.
Ledger or leger lines extend the staff to pitches that fall below it. It is a short line added above or below the staff. Ledger lines are generally placed behind note heads and are spaced at the same distance as the lines of the staff. Range of notes that go beyond the two staffs are put on extra short lines or between the spaces formed between the...
Vertical lines called bars are used to connect the upper and lower staffs of the grand staff. The vertical bars are used to divide the staff into measures. A single bar line is used to separate a measure. Each bar or measure refers to a segment of time that is defined by a given number of beats and note value. To make it easier to understand, the t...
A bracket is generally used to indicate the connection between the staff of two or more separate instruments. To say the least, it is used to connect two or more lines of music that are to be played simultaneously by multiple instruments.
The brace on the other hand connects two or more lines of music played simultaneously by a single instrument. Also called an accolade, the brace connects multiple parts for a single instrument (the right and left-hand stave of a piano―for instance is connected using a brace).
The stave, essentially, is mere lines; however, the presence of the clef marking the beginning of the stave is what assigns a certain pitch to the notes. The clef, in other words, helps to accurately relate to the pitch of the musical note placed on or between specific lines on the stave. In short, a clef is used to fix the position of certain high...
Notes represent the length of time of a particular pitch. Each note stands for a particular number of beats. In written music, the length of a note is shown by its shape. When there is no note sounding, a restis written, and the duration is shown by its shape. To make things easier, we have classified notes on the basis of their relation with the w...
Half Note or Minim
A half note or minim is played for half the duration of a semibreve. In other words, a minim receives 2 counts, allowing the musician to hold the note for 2 counts instead of 4. The minim, like the semibreve, is a hollowed oval with a stem or tail attached. The stem or the tail of the minim can either be drawn upwards or downwards depending on the placement of the note on the stave. When a note falls below the middle line of the stave the stem is drawn upwards from the right side of the note,...
Quarter Note or Crotchet
A quarter note is half of a minim, and one-fourth of a full note. It is represented by a filled-in oval. Like the minim, a quarter note has a tail or a stem attached to the note head, which points upwards or downwards depending on how the note falls in a musical piece of work. The note head orientation for the minim and crotchet largely depends on the position of the stem. The crotchet rest corresponds to a quarter note. Like the quarter note, the crotchet rest receives one count or beat in a...
Quaver or Eight Note
A quaver note is played for one eighth the duration of a whole note or semibreve. It is represented with a filled-in oval with a stem accompanied with a flag. The flag is always positioned on the right side of the stem. However, a note placed above the middle line of the staff will have the flag pointing upwards and downwards if the note falls below the middle line ensuring the curve of the flag is towards the right. Multiple eight notes falling next to each other are connected with a beam in...
Double Whole Note
Also known as a breve or a double note, it is twice as long as a semibreve. It is the longest note value that is still in use in modern music notation. Like the whole note, it is represented by a hollow oval with double stems on either sides. A double whole rest is represented by a filled-in rectangle that spans the vertical space between the second and third line from the top of the musical staff. Like the notes, the breve rest denotes a silence that is twice that of a semibreve rest.
Quadruple Whole Note
Also known as a longa or a sextuple whole note, is four to six times as long as a double whole note. The modern form of the longa can alternatively be written as a semibreve with two stems on either side―one stem is longer than the other―like the longa note with the stem facing upwards. A longa rest associated with the note is represented by a vertical filled-in rectangle.
Maxima or Octuple Whole Note
Used specifically in early music, the maxima or the octuple longa is considered to be a rare musical note that is twice as long as the longa, or eight to twelve times as long as a semibreve. Incidentally, the duplex longa or maxima occurs only in instances of early music. It resembles a quadruple whole note, except that the horizontal bars are slightly longer than the longa notes. The maxima rest is symbolized by two longa rests, or the more modern alternative for it is a filled-in longa rests.
Breath Mark
A breath mark or a luftpause is represented by a filled-in single inverted comma placed above the musical staff. For a singer or a performer playing a wind instrument, it translates as an instruction to pause for breath. For those playing non-wind instruments, it is an instruction to take a slight pause. For example, in the case of a bowed instrument, the breath mark is indication for the player to lift the bow and play the next note with either a downward or upward bow. The breath mark works...
Caesura
Like a breath mark, the caesura indicates a brief pause or break in the piece of music. It is placed between notes or measures before or above the lines of a stave. It is represented with two slanting parallel lines often referred to as railroad tracks or tram lines. The break or interruption in music can be of any length, and the time often depends on the discretion of the conductor.
