Chinese Character Five-line Numerical Notation Notation Method Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a music notation method, in particular to a "Chinese Character Five-line Numerical Notation Notation Method" that integrates the characteristics of staff and numbered musical notation. Background Art
[0002] In the current world, there are mainly two types of music notation: staff and numbered musical notation. Staff is widely used in most countries and regions around the world. It can accurately record absolute pitch, time value and polyphony, and has strong inheritance. It is the mainstream of world music education and performance nowadays. However, staff usually adopts a fixed-key reading method. Due to frequent key changes and numerous accidentals, it is difficult to read and sing, which is hard for non-professionals to master and not easy to popularize.
[0003] Numbered musical notation has the advantages of being simple and easy to learn. The movable-do solfège can be transposed to any position of absolute pitch with fewer accidentals, which is suitable for non-professionals to learn to sing and easy to popularize. However, it is difficult for numbered musical notation to visually display absolute pitch, and its harmonic notation is relatively complicated, which is not conducive to performance by professionals. When reading staff with movable-do solfège, the position of solfège changes with the change of key, making it difficult to memorize the positions of solfège in each key. Therefore, staff and numbered musical notation are incompatible with each other in practical application, and each has its own limitations. Technical Problem
[0004] The existing staff and numbered musical notation lack effective compatibility, and non-professionals have difficulties in using staff, especially under frequent key changes, the diversity of accidentals complicates the learning of notes. In addition, numbered musical notation has limitations in expressing harmony and absolute pitch, which is not conducive to performance by professionals. Therefore, the existing notation methods cannot simultaneously combine the advantages of the two notation systems. Technical Solution
[0005] The present invention provides a new notation method, that is, on the basis of the staff, fixed-key pitch names and movable-do solfège names of numbered musical notation are integrated on the same note, so that the staff can simultaneously present fixed-key music information and movable-key music information on one note. This method is based on the stroke lines and stroke writing order rules of Chinese characters (the stroke order diagram of the eight principles of Yong character), uses the symbol lines of (dot, horizontal stroke, hook, lift, curve, left-falling stroke, right-falling stroke) to represent different movable-do note solfège, and embeds these symbol lines in the left, middle and right of the note stem of the staff, thus effectively solving the compatibility problem between the staff and the numbered musical notation. Beneficial Effect
[0006] The "Chinese character five-line simplified notation" of the present invention can effectively avoid the problem that it is difficult to sing due to numerous accidentals in fixed-do notation, and solves the defect that the positions of movable-do solfège on the staff are difficult to memorize and locate. By combining the fixed-do and movable-do note methods, the musical score is more intuitive and easier to read, meets the different needs of professional and non-professional personnel at the same time, improves the readability of musical scores and the convenience of learning. This method breaks through the barrier between different music systems of traditional staves. It provides a new linguistic symbol for music creation and has broad application potential. Description of Drawings
[0007] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the morphological mapping relationship between the basic strokes of the Eight Principles of Yong and musical symbols.
[0008] Preferred Embodiment of the Present Invention
[0009] The basic structure of a staff note consists of a note head and a note stem, wherein the note head records the absolute pitch, while the note stem generally does not record substantial note information. The present invention is based on the stroke lines and writing sequence rules of Chinese characters (the stroke order diagram of the Eight Principles of Yong), uses different stroke lines (dot, horizontal stroke, hook, lift, curve, left-falling stroke, right-falling stroke) as movable-do solfège notes, and embeds them into the left, middle and right of the note stem respectively.
[0010] Specific implementation steps are as follows
[0011] 1. The "dot", the first stroke of the character "Yong", is used as a graphic symbol of the note to replace the movable-do note "do" and is embedded in the middle of the note stem
[0012] 2. The "horizontal stroke", the second stroke of the character "Yong", is used as a graphic symbol of the note to replace the movable-do note "re" and is embedded in the middle of the note stem;
[0013] 3. The "hook", the third stroke of the character "Yong", is used as a graphic symbol of the note to replace the movable-do note "mi" and is embedded in the middle of the note stem;
[0014] 4. The "lift", the fourth stroke of the character "Yong", is used as a graphic symbol of the note to replace the movable-do note "fa" and is embedded on the left of the note stem;
[0015] 5. The "curve", the fifth stroke of the character "Yong", is used as a graphic symbol of the note to replace the movable-do note "sol" and is embedded on the left of the note stem;
[0016] 6. The "left-falling stroke", the sixth stroke of the character "Yong", is used as a graphic symbol of the note to replace the movable-do note "la" and is embedded on the right of the note stem;
[0017] 7. The stroke "na", which is the seventh stroke of the Chinese character "yong (eternity)", is used as the graphic symbol of a note to replace the movable-do note "xi" and is embedded on the right side of the note stem. Through the above method, each staff note contains both fixed-do music information and movable-do music information, which makes the music score more readable and easier to learn, and can meet the different needs of professional and non-professional people at the same time. Industrial Applicability
[0018] The "Chinese character simplified staff notation" of the present invention has wide practicability. It can not only be applied to music creation and arrangement, but also can be widely used in the field of education, helping non-professionals master staff notation quickly, greatly improving the popularization rate of staff notation, and at the same time satisfying the requirements of professional performers for harmony and absolute pitch. In addition, the method of the present invention can also be popularized and applied in modern music technology, and is of great significance especially in the development of electronic score and audio software. Free Content of Sequence Listing
[0019] The present invention does not involve the application of nucleotides or amino acids, so it does not involve the content of the sequence listing.
