For example, a common clap pattern used in cheers can be written like this:īar lines, double bar lines, end bar lines, repeat signs, first- and second-endings look very similar to their counterparts in the standard notation. When notating rhythms without pitch, such as in many percussion instruments, the symbol "X" or "x" replaces numerals. The multi-bar rest symbol used in standard notation may also be adopted. A more general symbol for a bar rest is | )0( |. The bar rest of 3Ĥ time is | 0 0 0 | and the bar rest of 4Ĥ time is | 0 0 0 0 |. The rules for length is similar to that of the note, except that it is customary to repeat "0" instead of adding dashes for rests longer than a quarter rest. The number "0" represents the musical rest. The underline, along with its joining, are analogous to the number of flags and beaming in standard notation. Dashes after a note lengthen it, each dash by the length of a quarter note.Ī dot after the plain or underlined note works increases its length by half, and two dots by three quarters. Each underline halves the note length: One represents an eighth note (quaver), two represent a sixteenth note (semiquaver), and so on. The plain number represents a quarter note (crotchet). Each note has its own octave dots, but only the lowest note has the length lines (next section).Īrpeggiated chords are notated by writing the standard Western arpeggiation symbol to the left of the chord.Ĭhord symbols such as Cm may be used if the exact voicing is unimportant. Thus the dots below numbers do not always vertically align with each other, since some of them may be moved slightly downward so as not to collide with the note length lines.Ĭhords can be transcribed by vertically stacking the notes, with the lowest note at the bottom as with Western notation. Where there are note length lines (see following section) underneath the numbers, any dots are placed below the lines. Where there is more than one dot above or below the number, the dots are vertically stacked: Musical scales can thus be written as follows: The number of dots equals the number of octaves. ("Si" has been supplanted in English by "ti", for the sake of having a different beginning consonant for each degree.)ĭots above or below a musical note raise or lower it to other octaves. When the notes are read aloud or sung, they are called "do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si". For example, in the key of C, their relationship with the notes and the solfège is as follows: They always correspond to the diatonic major scale. Numbers 1 to 7 represent the musical notes (more accurately the scale degrees).
