| 241 | Musical notation system patterned upon the standard piano keyboard | US11277502 | 2006-03-26 | US07439438B2 | 2008-10-21 | Jia Hao |
| An improved musical notation system, which uses a staff patterned upon the standard piano keyboard. It replaces the Grand Staff's system of lines and spaces with a system of “pitch stripes” of two colors arranged in the same pattern as the black and white keys of the standard piano keyboard. Music scores, especially those for keyboard music, produced with the art are significantly easier to understand and sight-read. The art further incorporates positional numerical music notes to marry positional notation and numerical notation of music in the same musical score. The art further facilitates a method by which music scores of the same music in different keys can be obtained easily by moving all markings and notes collectively up or down the staff. | ||||||

| 244 | Method and system for improved tablature notation in digital music scores | US09211163 | 1998-12-11 | US06201174B1 | 2001-03-13 | Marlin Eller |
| A computerized tablature composer automatically updates a tablature notation following edits of a corresponding staff notation. The computerized tablature composer conversely links edits to a tablature notation with corresponding updates in a staff notation for a corresponding musical score. The computerized tablature composer ensures vertical alignment between corresponding notes in a staff notation and a tablature notation. The computerized tablature composer ensures that the actual played notes in both musical representations are aligned so that the musician knows which note in the staff notation corresponds to which note in the tablature notation. The computerized tablature composer further allows the coupling between tablature and conventional staff notation to be de-coupled upon request. The computerized tablature composer provides a musician with alternate fret locations for the notes in a musical work when the musician indicates an alternate string for a given note. The computerized tablature composer provides a virtual tuning peg that allows a musician to use non-standard tunings by changing the fret numbers in the tablature notation to reflect new tuning data for one or more strings represented by the tablature notation. | ||||||
| 245 | Method and apparatus for teaching musical notation to young children | US260777 | 1994-06-16 | US5540132A | 1996-07-30 | Beverly M. Hale |
| A method for teaching musical notation to children. Each note is associated with a distinctly identifiable color, which is in turn associated with an object which naturally occurs in this color. Each object, in turn, is associated with a cartoon character which prominently incorporates an image of the object. Each character is endowed with a distinctly identifiable personality characteristic which enables the child to utilize the cartoon character in an educational activity. These relationships allow the child to apply relatively sophisticated symbolization techniques which are a part of the child's natural developmental process in order to master the musical notation system. | ||||||

| 247 | Platen positioning attachment for typewriters for typewriting musical notation | US905134 | 1978-05-12 | US4270866A | 1981-06-02 | Guido Pasqualini |
| An attachment for installation upon a typewriter for applying musical notations to a sheet material and comprising a frame pivotally mounted on the typewriter body, the frame including a bridging member at one end of the frame adjacent the platen of the typewriter and a secondary keyboard at the opposite end of the frame. The bridging member carries rotatable, axially parallel cylindrical members spaced along the length thereof and oriented generally vertically to engage plural rollers oriented axially parallel to the platen and engaged thereagainst. The secondary keyboard carries individual keys, each having depending stems selectively engageable with a spring biased lever when a selected one of said keys is depressed. The keys each represent an imprinting location on a musical staff for application of the musical characters controlled by the principal keyboard of the typewriter. Depression of a selected one of the secondary keys causes movement of the spring biased lever to pivot the frame a given degree, raising the cylinders a predetermined height and thus causing rotation of the rollers whereby to rotate the platen (and the sheet guided thereby) incrementally to place the imprinting location for reception of a musical character imprint at such location relative a musical staff as required by the operator. | ||||||

| A simplified playing method and music notation system for the learning and teaching of playing the guitar, banjo, ukulele, or similar stringed instrument, primarily for use as accompaniment to singing. One embodiment of the method is comprised of 2 parts: 1. A notation system which specifies non-standard tuning information (24), specifies movable chord fingering information[(40), (42)], and uses numbers (20), letters, colors (64), or symbols to specify the fret space locations to implement the movable chord fingering, and 2. A modification to the instrument, adding a corresponding (numbered, colored, etc.) fret designation visual aid [(34), (68) to indicate where to place the movable chord fingering on the neck of the instrument. Since most chord changes are made simply by moving one simple chord shape up and down the fretboard, and the notation system is very easy to read, learning to play the instrument becomes significantly faster and easier. | ||||||

| A performance data editing system is actualized by a computer system (or electronic musical instrument) which is equipped with a display and a mouse. The system initially provides a score window containing various types of execution icon layers onto which execution icons (representing musical symbols such as bend-up/down, grace-up/down, dynamics, glissando, tremolo) are attached and arranged in conformity with a progression of a musical tune on a screen of the display. Each of the layers is independently controlled in response to various commands such as display-on, small-scale display, display-off and vertical rearrangement. The system allows a user (or music editor) to select desired execution icons from an icon select palette that provides lists of execution icons which are registered in advance. In addition, the system also allows the user to modify parameters of a specific icon which is selected from among the execution icons attached onto the score window. That is, the user opens an icon modify window to change parameters of the specific icon with the mouse. Further, the system provides the user with a simple operation for deletion of execution-related data from performance data. That is, when the user performs drag-and-drop operations on a certain execution icon to move it outside of a prescribed display area (e.g., layer window) of the score window, the system automatically deletes the corresponding execution-related data from the performance data. Thus, it is possible to improve performability and efficiency in editing performance data by using icons with simple operations and without errors. | ||||||

| Sound signal is received which contains sound characteristics to be represented in musical notation. The characteristics, such as a volume level of the sound signal, are extracted out of the received sound signal, and various parameters for use in subsequent analysis of the sound signal are set in accordance with the extracted characteristics. Also, a desired scale determining condition is set by a user. Pitch of the sound signal is determined using the thus-set parameters. The determined pitch is rounded to any one of scale notes, corresponding to the user-set scale determining condition. Also, a given unit note length is set as a predetermined criterion or reference for determining a note length, and a length of the scale note determined from the received sound signal is determined using the thus-set unit note length as a minimum determination unit, i.e., with an accuracy of the unit note length. | ||||||
