Staff Spaces a unit of measurement: the distance between adjacent lines in a staff.In Denemo this may even include syntax for snippets of music, note-names fret diagrams etc., so that these can appear in the text. titles – that can have additional characters to indicate bold or italic, repositioning etc. If the notes are of different durations then they have to be placed in separate voices, they can’t be a chord, though they may appear so (by sharing stems) in the typeset.Ī system ↓is what might be called a “line” of the music on the page, that is all the music (over several staffs) that sounds together starting at the left-hand margin and ending at the right margin. Voices are normally displayed on separate staffs in the Denemo Display to make them easy to edit the LilyPond typesetter has the task of placing them on the same staff.Ī chord ↓ is one or more notes of the same duration making a single musical object. The term voice ↓ is used in two senses: as a line of music moving independently on a staff, and (as in Voice 1, Voice 2), a voice that has its stems in one direction, with corresponding changes to the placing of ties, slurs, ornaments etc). A Denemo staff may also be typeset as a line of Chord Symbols ↓, Fret Diagrams ↓, or a line of dynamics markings above or below some other staff. Besides the terms well-known to musicians, music notation has some specialized names and Denemo uses some terms with specific meanings which you should know:Ī movement ↓ is a continous stretch of music (all the measures following on from each other) such as a song in a songbook, or a movement in a symphony.Ī score ↓ is one or more movements usually interspersed with titles.Ī staff ↓ has the usual meaning, but note that it may contain several lines of music (voices).
