Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of musical score marking, and particularly to a musical score integrating colors and note shapes and a marking method thereof. Background Art

[0002] A musical score is a way to record and spread musical works in the field of music. It fixes auditory information such as pitch, rhythm, dynamics, and tempo of music through visual information expression means such as symbols, markings, and words, enabling music to be read, performed, and preserved. The notation method is a technical method for making musical scores. By creating reasonable visual expression language symbols and formulating technical solutions that conform to the natural laws of musical expression and music expression theory, musical scores are made.

[0003] The common musical score making methods mainly include the staff notation method and the numbered musical notation method. The musical scores made are collectively referred to as staff notation and numbered musical notation.

[0004] The staff notation method is the most widely used musical score making method at present. It uses five parallel horizontal lines and four intervals to represent different pitches. A note consists of a note head, a stem, and a tail. The position of the note head determines the pitch, and the duration of the note is represented by the stem and the tail. In addition to the five lines of the basic staff, leger lines are also used above and below. The number of tails also changes according to different note values. There are also key signatures or accidental signs in the musical score, etc. These will make the symbols in the musical score become complex and dense, easily interfere with each other, and increase the recognition difficulty. Therefore, it is very difficult for beginners to master and requires long-term repeated practice, which is daunting.

[0005] The numbered musical notation method is a notation method that uses numbers to represent pitch. It uses the numbers 1 to 7 to represent the seven basic pitch classes in music, namely do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si (or ti), corresponding to C, D, E, F, G, A, B respectively. Dots can be added above or below the numbers in the numbered musical notation to represent the pitch height, and the number of added horizontal lines is used to represent the duration of the note. These will increase the density of the symbols in the musical score and will also become interference factors to a certain extent. The numbered musical notation is simple and easy to learn and is suitable for beginners and amateur enthusiasts to use. However, it is not as accurate as the staff notation in expressing complex musical structures and subtle pitch changes.

[0006] Both the numbered musical notation method and the staff notation method use black note symbols, without color attributes, and there is no color difference, and they do not have the most intuitive color hint function in visual recognition. At the same time, the note styles in the staff notation are the same, interfering with each other and not easy to distinguish, and the graphic style hint function in visual recognition is not good.

[0007] In order to enhance the fun of learning, a solution for color music scores has been proposed. For example, the Chinese invention patent application "One-line Score Notation Method and Color Notation Method for Simplified Score and Staff Score (Application No.: 202111078901.9)" discloses a color notation method. However, its specific solution is to use horizontal line segments of rainbow colors as musical notes for music notation. The notes, pitch, duration, etc. are all integrated on a single horizontal line. The entire music score is a single horizontal line, and different colors and lengths of the single horizontal line are used to represent different notes. Although the music score is given color, using line segments of different lengths to represent different notes is too simplistic. Since the length differences between the line segments are small, it is not only easy to misidentify the notes, but also many rely on the existing notation methods of staff scores or simplified scores, and the simultaneous appearance of the two is prone to confusion. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Aiming at the technical defects mentioned in the above background art, the present invention provides a new type of music score that combines color and symbol shape, and also provides a marking method for this music score.

[0009] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is: A music score that combines color and symbol shape, including a color music score body and musical examples set on the music score.

[0010] The musical examples are explanations of the color element and symbol shape element in the musical attribute elements; the musical examples include musical attribute elements and design elements; the musical attribute elements include note names, note values, and note groups; the design elements include color elements and symbol shape elements.

[0011] Utilize the natural law that different wavelengths of light form different colors in vision, and the acoustic law that sound waves of different vibration frequencies form different pitches in hearing. Combine the two organically. Utilize the intuitive and distinct characteristics of color and symbol shape in visual recognition. By combining and corresponding the color design element, symbol shape design element with the main musical attribute elements, construct a visual language symbol with color and symbol shape characteristics that can express musical information, as the language mark for music score marking. Use the color symbols for music score marking to make a music score, forming a new type of music score with color attributes, intuitive and distinct, and easier to identify and recognize.

[0012] By selecting 7 colors that are easy to distinguish and recognize visually, together with black, a total of 8 colors, as the note color setting elements, called color design elements. By designing a brand-new symbol style, using various geometric shapes with different shapes and easy to recognize as symbols, called symbol shape design elements, avoiding symbol singularity and reducing mutual interference. The color design element and symbol shape design element are collectively called design elements, which correspond to the musical attribute elements, construct language marking symbols for expressing musical information, and form a new music score that combines color and symbol shape. The music score also includes musical examples, which are explanations of the corresponding expressions of musical attribute elements, color elements, and symbol shape elements.

[0013] The main musical property elements refer to the three main properties of musical notes: pitch name, note value, and pitch range. The rest pitch name is represented by the letter H. There are 8 pitch names in total, including 7 known pitch names and the rest pitch name, namely C, D, E, F, G, A, B, and H. The note value is the duration of the note, including whole note, half note, quarter note, eighth note, sixteenth note, thirty-second note, sixty-fourth note, one-hundred-and-twenty-eighth note, etc. The pitch range includes great staff 2, great staff 1, great staff, small staff, small staff 1, small staff 2, small staff 3, small staff 4, small staff 5, etc.

[0014] The color design elements are selected according to the pantone colours color coding system. 8 color codes are used as the basis for the composition of color elements. Among them, the optional codes for red are pantone 173 and pantone 179; the optional codes for pink are pantone 195 and pantone 189; the optional codes for brown are pantone 138 and pantone 145; the optional codes for yellow are pantone 108 and pantone 109; the optional codes for green are pantone 354 and pantone 361; the optional codes for blue are pantone 298 and pantone 299; the optional codes for purple are pantone 265 and pantone 266; the optional codes for black are pantone 419 and pantone 426.

[0015] The glyph design elements adopt a newly designed geometric pattern style, following the principles of simplicity, practicality, easy recognition, and little mutual interference. They include basic glyphs and combined glyphs. The basic glyphs include hollow square with dot, hollow square, solid square, hollow circle with dot, hollow circle, solid circle, hollow triangle with dot, hollow triangle, solid triangle, oblique line, × shape, star shape, horizontal line, vertical line; the combined glyphs are composed of the combination of basic glyphs.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention rationally designs color design elements and symbol - shape design elements, and then combines and corresponds them with three main music attribute elements of pitch names, note values, and pitch sets to construct visual language symbols with color and symbol - shape characteristics that can express music information, serving as language notations for musical score markings. Using symbols or markings with colors and music information to mark old musical scores to form new musical scores. The present invention realizes the differentiation of the music information expression function, can express different music elements with colors and symbol - shapes, and is more perfect, reasonable, optimized and practical compared with the prior art such as the staff notation that only expresses various music elements with symbol - shapes and has a single expression function. That is, different colors are used to represent pitch names, one pitch name corresponds to one color, and the pitch name can be known by looking at the color; different symbol - shapes are used to express note values, one note value corresponds to one symbol - shape; and only one additional pitch - set line is needed. Thus, the visual information of the musical score can be simplified, the symbol density can be reduced, the mutual interference can be decreased, making the musical score more concise, intuitive, clear, definite, and easier to recognize and identify.

[0017] Using colored - note musical scores can give full play to the intuitive and distinct prompting role of colors and symbol - shapes in visual recognition, significantly improve the musical - score recognition efficiency, speed up the reading speed, and significantly improve the learning, practice, and sight - reading performance effects. In practical applications, beginners can quickly master the method of recognizing colored - note musical scores after short - term learning, and the efficiency far exceeds the process of learning the staff notation and numbered musical notation. For users with a certain level, using colored - note musical scores can also double or more the learning efficiency compared with using staff - notation musical scores and numbered musical notation. At the same time, colored - note musical scores better meet the needs of the extensive development of today's digital media and are very suitable for use on digital media such as computers, tablets, and mobile phones. Their rich - color, intuitive, and distinct characteristics are both an auditory enjoyment and a visual enjoyment for music users. Whether it is a digital musical score or a paper musical score, a musical score with bright colors looks more beautiful visually and is more likely to be loved by people.

[0024] Next, in accordance with the design concept of the basic technical solution of the present invention, in combination with the accompanying drawings, the present invention will be further described with respect to several relatively typical notation schemes.

[0025] The music score that combines colors and symbol shapes disclosed by the present invention includes a color music score body and musical examples provided on the music score. The musical examples are explanations of the color elements and symbol shape elements in the music attribute elements; the musical examples include music attribute elements and design elements; the music attribute elements include pitch names, note values, and tone groups; the design elements include color elements and symbol shape elements.

[0026] Construction of the music element information expression language: By combining and corresponding the main music elements with color elements and symbol shape elements, a visual language symbol with color and symbol shape characteristics and capable of expressing music information is constructed as the language notation for music score marking.

[0027] The main music elements include three types: pitch names, note values, and tone groups, which can be combined with colors and symbol shapes to form corresponding expression relationships. The three music elements and the two design elements can form 8 corresponding expression methods, as shown in Table 1.

[0028] Table 1 Corresponding expression methods of music elements and design elements

[0029] The present invention intends to construct language symbols for expressing music information in the way of corresponding pitch name colors, corresponding note value symbol shapes, and corresponding tone group line colors (such as Scheme 1 and Scheme 2), and in the way of corresponding combined symbol shapes to express note values and tone groups (such as Scheme 3), and use the constructed language symbols as the language notations for music score marking.

[0030] Specifically: Pitch name color correspondence expression setting: The pitch name C corresponds to the color red, D to pink, E to brown, F to yellow, G to green, A to blue, B to purple, and the rest pitch name H to black (see Figure 3 ).

[0031] Note value symbol form correspondence expression setting: Method 1: The whole note is a dotted hollow circle, the half note is a hollow circle, the quarter note is a solid circle, the eighth note is a slanted line, the sixteenth note is a hollow triangle, the thirty-second note is a solid triangle, the sixty-fourth note is an 'x' shape, and the one-hundred-and-twenty-eighth note is a star shape (see Figure 4 ); Method 2: The whole note is a hollow square, the half note is a solid square, the quarter note is a hollow circle, the eighth note is a solid circle, the sixteenth note is a hollow triangle, the thirty-second note is a solid triangle, the sixty-fourth note is an 'x' shape, and the one-hundred-and-twenty-eighth note is a star shape (see Figure 5 ).

[0032] Pitch group line color and pitch group correspondence expression setting: According to the arrangement characteristics of the corresponding pitch groups from low to high from left to right on the piano keyboard, different colored lines are selected as pitch group demarcation marker symbols, marked above or below the notes to express the pitch group relationship of the notes. The specific correspondence expression setting is: From low to high, the order of the pitch groups and the line colors is Grand Staff 2 - black line - Grand Staff 1 - purple line - Grand Staff - blue line - Small Staff - red line - Small Staff 1 - green line - Small Staff 2 - brown line - Small Staff 3 - yellow line - Small Staff 4 - pink line - Small Staff 5. When expressed in a horizontal order, the pitch groups are arranged from left to right from the low pitch group to the high pitch group, and the pitch group lines are represented by vertical lines (see Figure 6 ); When expressed in a vertical order, the pitch groups are arranged from bottom to top from the low pitch group to the high pitch group, and the pitch group lines are represented by horizontal lines (see Figure 7 ). In the score example, the horizontal representation method is adopted to reduce the vertical occupied space; the pitch group of the notes in the music score is marked with a pitch group horizontal line in the vertical representation method, that is, the corresponding pitch group horizontal line is added above or below the note to mark the pitch group of the note.

[0033] Combined symbol form to express note value and pitch group: The combined symbol form is composed of the combination of the note value symbol form and a vertical line. The note value symbol form still represents the note value, and the combination of the note value symbol form and the vertical line represents the pitch group. That is, for a double note value symbol form at the lower left of the vertical line is C2 in Grand Staff 2, a single symbol form at the lower left of the vertical line is C1 in Grand Staff 1, a single symbol form in the middle left of the vertical line is C in Grand Staff, a single symbol form at the upper left of the vertical line is c in Small Staff, a single symbol form at the lower right of the vertical line is c1 in Small Staff 1, a single symbol form in the middle right of the vertical line is c2 in Small Staff 2, a single symbol form at the upper right of the vertical line is c3 in Small Staff 3, and a double symbol form at the upper right of the vertical line is c4 in Small Staff 4. The rest symbol has no pitch group vertical line and is directly marked with the note value symbol form.

[0034] In this way, a language symbol with color and symbol shape attributes that can express music element information is constructed, becoming a language notation for musical score marking. Combining with music theory, a reasonable musical score marking scheme can be formulated.

[0035] Auxiliary symbols involved in musical score marking, such as bar lines, ties, dots, crescendos, diminuendos, mordents, trills, etc., can all be marked in the same way as in traditional staff notation and numbered musical notation.

[0036] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the composition of color design elements. That is, 8 colors are determined corresponding codes according to the pantone colours color coding system as the color element composition scheme. Specifically, select the coding ranges of 8 colors according to the pantone colours color coding system, and select 2 codes for each color as the color coding ranges in the present invention. Among them, the coding range of red is pantone 173 or pantone 179, pink is pantone 195 or pantone 189, brown is pantone 138 or pantone 145, yellow is pantone 108 or pantone 109, green is pantone 354 or pantone 361, blue is pantone 298 or pantone 299, purple is pantone 265 or pantone 266, and black is pantone 419 or pantone 426.

[0037] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the basic symbol shape styles in symbol shape elements. The basic symbol shapes include hollow square with dot, hollow square, solid square, hollow circle with dot, hollow circle, solid circle, hollow triangle with dot, hollow triangle, solid triangle, oblique line shape, × shape, star shape, horizontal line shape, vertical line shape.

[0038] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the corresponding expression method of pitch names and colors. That is, 8 pitch names correspond to 8 colors for expression, which are C for red, D for pink, E for brown, F for yellow, G for green, A for blue, B for purple, and H for black.

[0039] Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of the corresponding expression method of note values and symbol shapes for the first implementation plan. That is, the whole note is a hollow circle with dot, the half note is a hollow circle, the quarter note is a solid circle, the eighth note is an oblique line shape, the sixteenth note is a hollow triangle, the thirty-second note is a solid triangle, the sixty-fourth note is an × shape, and the one-hundred-and-twenty-eighth note is a star shape.

[0040] Figure 5Schematic diagram of the second corresponding expression method of note value and symbol form, adopted for Embodiment 2. That is, the whole note is a hollow square, the half note is a solid square, the quarter note is a hollow circle, the eighth note is a solid circle, the sixteenth note is a hollow triangle, the thirty-second note is a solid triangle, the sixty-fourth note is an '×' shape, and the one-hundred-and-twenty-eighth note is a star shape.

[0041] Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the horizontal arrangement of the corresponding expression of the note group and the line color of the note group; it shows the arrangement method of the note groups from the bass group to the treble group from left to right. That is, the note group name and the line color from left to right are the second grand staff - black line - the first grand staff - purple line - the grand staff - blue line - the small staff - red line - the first small staff - green line - the second small staff - brown line - the third small staff - yellow line - the fourth small staff - pink line - the fifth small staff.

[0042] Figure 7 Schematic diagram of the vertical arrangement of the corresponding expression of the note group and the line color of the note group; it shows the arrangement method of the note groups from the bass group to the treble group from bottom to top. That is, the note group name and the line color from bottom to top are the second grand staff - black line - the first grand staff - purple line - the grand staff - blue line - the small staff - red line - the first small staff - green line - the second small staff - brown line - the third small staff - yellow line - the fourth small staff - pink line - the fifth small staff.

[0043] Figure 6 and Figure 7 are two graphical representation methods of the same content, and the horizontal arrangement method is adopted in the score example Figure 6 to avoid using Figure 7 the vertical method from occupying more space, thus making the overall score more concise; and when using color horizontal lines to mark the note group for the notes in the score, it is in accordance with Figure 7 the relationship between the note group where the note is located and the note group line as shown, and select the corresponding note group horizontal line to mark above or below the note.

[0044] Figure 8 Schematic diagram of the combined symbol form in the symbol form elements, adopted alone for Embodiment 3. The combined symbol form is composed of the combination of basic symbol forms. The shown combined symbol form consists of two parts: note value symbol form + vertical line. The note value symbol form still represents the note value, and the combination method of the note value symbol form and the vertical line represents the note group. That is, the double note value symbol form at the lower left of the vertical line is C2 in the second grand staff, the single symbol form at the lower left of the vertical line is C1 in the first grand staff, the single symbol form in the middle left of the vertical line is C in the grand staff, the single symbol form at the upper left of the vertical line is c in the small staff, the single symbol form at the lower right of the vertical line is c1 in the first small staff, the single symbol form in the middle right of the vertical line is c2 in the second small staff, the single symbol form at the upper right of the vertical line is c3 in the third small staff, and the double symbol form at the upper right of the vertical line is c4 in the fourth small staff. The rest symbol has no vertical line for the note group and is directly marked with the note value symbol form.

[0045] Auxiliary symbols involved in musical score markings, such as bar lines, ties, dots, crescendos, diminuendos, mordents, trills, etc., can all be marked using the same representation methods as traditional staff notation and numbered musical notation.

[0046] Next, several typical specific implementation schemes will be described. Example 1

[0047] Figure 9 Taking the piano score of Brahms' "Lullaby" as an example, it is a score sample marked and produced according to the method disclosed in the present invention. The figure includes two parts: a color musical score and musical examples. The notes in the musical score are arranged in two lines, with the upper line being the treble clef and the lower line being the bass clef. This solution is marked and implemented using language notations that correspond the pitch name colors, note value shapes, and pitch group line colors to pitch groups, which are specifically described as follows.

[0048] The musical examples show the marked relationships corresponding to pitch name colors, note value shapes, and pitch group line colors.

[0049] Among them, the marked relationship of pitch name colors is: as shown in the musical example, the pitch name C corresponds to the color red, D to pink, E to brown, F to yellow, G to green, A to blue, B to purple, and H to black.

[0050] The marked relationship of note value shapes: as shown in the musical example, the 8 shapes respectively correspond to the whole note, half note, quarter note, eighth note, sixteenth note, thirty-second note, sixty-fourth note, and one-hundred-and-twenty-eighth note.

[0051] The marked relationship of pitch group line colors shown in the musical example: The musical example adopts Figure 6 the horizontal arrangement method of corresponding the pitch groups and the colors of the pitch group lines to express the corresponding relationship between the pitch groups and the pitch group lines. That is, the order of the pitch groups and the pitch group lines from left to right is the second grand staff - black line - first grand staff - purple line - grand staff - blue line - small staff - red line - first leger line - green line - second leger line - brown line - third leger line - yellow line - fourth leger line - pink line - fifth leger line.

[0052] Actual marking method: According to Figure 7 the relationship between the pitch group where the note is located and the pitch group line shown, select the corresponding pitch group horizontal line to mark above or below the note. That is, when marking the pitch group below the note, use the pitch group horizontal line below the corresponding group of the note; when marking the pitch group above the note, use the pitch group horizontal line above the corresponding group of the note.

[0053] In the music score, the default group of each line can be indicated by marking the group symbol at the beginning of each line. For example, "C1" and "C minor" in the music score indicate that the upper line of the treble clef is defaulted to the small character group 1, and the lower line of the bass clef is defaulted to the small character group. When the note is not in the default group, the group where the note is located is marked by adding a group line above or below the note.

[0054] Relevant information such as key, beat value, and group can be marked at the beginning of the music score. As shown in the figure, the music score is in 3 / 4 time, and the c1 and c marked at the beginning of each section of the music score indicate the default groups of the upper and lower lines.

[0055] For those not specified in the music score, such as bar lines, end lines, floating point symbols, sharp and flat symbols, various marking symbols, etc., they are all defaulted to have the same meaning as in the traditional staff notation or numbered musical notation. Example 2

[0056] Figure 10 Taking the piano score of Brahms' "Lullaby" as an example, it is a score sample marked and made according to the method disclosed in the present invention. The figure includes two parts: a color music score and a musical example. The notes in the music score are arranged in two lines, with the upper line being the treble clef and the lower line being the bass clef. This solution is marked and implemented with a markup language notation that corresponds pitch names with colors, note values with symbol shapes, and groups with line colors. The specific description is as follows.

[0057] The musical example shows the corresponding marking relationships of pitch name colors, note value symbol shapes, and group line colors.

[0058] Among them, the corresponding marking relationship of pitch name colors is: as shown in the musical example, the pitch name C corresponds to the color red, D to pink, E to brown, F to yellow, G to green, A to blue, B to purple, and H to black.

[0059] The corresponding marking relationship of note value symbol shapes: as shown in the musical example, the 8 symbol shapes respectively correspond to the whole note, half note, quarter note, eighth note, sixteenth note, thirty-second note, sixty-fourth note, and one hundred and twenty-eighth note.

[0060] The corresponding marking relationship of group line colors shown in the musical example: The musical example uses Figure 6 the corresponding expression of the horizontal arrangement of the group and the group line color shown to illustrate the corresponding relationship between the group and the group line. That is, the order of the note group and the group line from left to right is great staff group 2 - black line - great staff group 1 - purple line - great staff group - blue line - small character group - red line - small character group 1 - green line - small character group 2 - brown line - small character group 3 - yellow line - small character group 4 - pink line - small group 5 group.

[0061] Actual marking method: According to Figure 7Based on the relationship between the pitch range where the shown note is located and the pitch range line, select the corresponding pitch range horizontal line to mark above or below the note. That is, when marking the pitch range below the note, use the pitch range horizontal line below the corresponding group of the note; when marking the pitch range above the note, use the pitch range horizontal line above the corresponding group of the note.

[0062] In the musical score, the way of marking the pitch range symbol at the beginning of each line can be adopted to represent the default group of that line. For example, "C1" and "C minor" in the musical score mean that the upper line of the treble clef is defaulted to the small octave 1 group by default, and the lower line of the bass clef is defaulted to the small octave group by default. The long horizontal line between the two lines represents the default group line. When the note is in a non-default group, mark the pitch range where it is located by adding a pitch range horizontal line above or below the note.

[0063] Relevant information such as key, beat value, and pitch range can be marked at the beginning of the musical score. As shown in the figure, the musical score is in 3 / 4 time, and the "c1" and "c minor" marked at the beginning of the musical score represent the default pitch ranges of the upper and lower lines.

[0064] For those not specified in the musical score, such as bar lines, end lines, floating point symbols, sharp and flat symbols, and various marking symbols, they are all defaulted to have the same meaning as in traditional staff notation or numbered musical notation. Example 3

[0065] Take Figure 11 Take the piano score of Brahms' "Lullaby" as an example. The score sample is made according to the marking method of the present invention. The figure includes two parts: the musical score and the score example. The notes in the musical score are arranged in two lines, the upper line is the treble clef, and the lower line is the bass clef. This solution is marked and implemented in the way that pitch names correspond to colors, note values correspond to note shapes, and combined note shapes correspond to note values and pitch ranges. The specific description is as follows.

[0066] The score example shows the marking relationships of pitch name colors, note value shapes, and combined notes corresponding to note values and pitch ranges.
