The simplified musical notation and the five-line musical notation are the two most widely used notation methods in my country. The simplified musical notation is rarely used in formal chorus and vocal singing and large-scale concert performances, and it is even less suitable to use simplified musical notation to record piano scores. However, the simplified musical notation can be passed down, and it is also easier to learn and remember. Written and easy to understand.

1. Definition: Simplified musical notation is a musical notation composed of the numbers 1234567 and other musical symbols.

2. Marked as: 1234567 roll call do ri mi fa sol la si.

3. Add a small dot above the note (number) to represent singing an octave higher. Add two small dots to represent two octaves higher; on the contrary, add a small dot above the note (number) to represent singing an octave higher. ), add a small dot below to represent singing an octave lower, and add two small dots to represent two octaves lower.

4. The duration represented by each single number in the musical notation is a quarter note, and the remaining durations are realized by adding horizontal lines after or below the numbers. The one added after the number is called the value-added line, and the one added below the number is called the devalued line.

5. If there is a value-increasing line behind the note, then one value-increasing line will increase by one beat (one quarter note); if there is a devaluation line below the note, then each additional devaluation line will increase the value. Just reduce the duration of this note by half.

6. Dotted notes can also be expressed in simplified musical notation, but the sum of dotted notes is only applied to the quarter note. If it is larger than the quarter note, it should be expressed with a value-added line.

7. In simplified musical notation, 0 is used to represent the basic rest. "0" represents a 4-minute rest. You can add the number of 0s or add points at the end to represent a rest longer than 4 minutes. , correspondingly if you want to express a rest shorter than 4 minutes, add a horizontal line below 0 to express it.

8. In simplified musical notation, 1234567 is used to determine the absolute height of a sound. As long as the absolute height of a sound is determined, the height of other sounds can be found through this sound. In order to determine the mode, it is usually represented by "1=?" in the upper left corner of the musical score. At the same time, the time signature expressed as a fraction is also placed in the upper left corner of the musical score. Write down the key signature first, then the time signature, and write down the name of the songwriter and songwriter in the lower right corner.

9. The vertical lines in the musical notation are bar lines, and each bar line indicates the completion of one section of playing or singing. When noting music, the lines of each section must be aligned neatly.

10. Tempo marks and expression terms are recorded above the beginning of the first line of music.

The development of simplified musical notation:

The creation and development process of simplified musical notation is also a long-term evolutionary process. Its earliest appearance was on August 22, 1742, by a French bourgeois revolutionary. , the thinker Rousseau proposed it at the annual meeting of the French Academy of Sciences. In 1743, he wrote an article introducing the use of digital spectrum in more detail. It is only after the efforts of several generations that we have the current simplified musical notation.

In this process, France's Garin (1786-1821) and Chevey (1804-1864), Britain's Granville (1785-1867) and Galvin (1816-1880) ), Germany's Nadolp and others have done research and organization on the simplified musical notation system, and further researched and promoted it, leading to the current simplified musical notation system.

Among them, France's Chevey made the greatest contribution to the promotion and development of simplified musical notation, so some people call simplified musical notation the "Chevey family system" or the "Chevey system". Our country's simplified musical notation was introduced from Japan. This system is different from Xie Wei's system. According to the Chevey system, short lines for eighth notes and sixteenth notes are added above the notes.

However, when Japanese simplified music came to my country, especially after liberation, it underwent many changes and developments, which were gradually improved by people in the process.
