C sharp and C double sharp on the Treble Clef .]] In Music , sharp means higher in pitch. More specifically, in Musical Notation , sharp means "higher in Pitch by a Semitone ," and has an associated symbol (), which looks somewhat like a "#" ( Number Sign ). The Unicode character '♯' (U+266F) may display as a sharp sign on some Computers , and '𝄪' (U+1D12A) may display as a double sharp. The Note ''C sharp'' is shown in Musical Notation in Figure 1. Under Equal Temperament , ''B sharp'' is the same as, or Enharmonic ally equivalent to, ''C'', and ''E sharp'' the same as ''F''. There also exist double-sharps, which look like and raise a note by two semitones. Less often one will encounter half or '''three quarter''', or otherwise modified, sharps. In Tuning , sharp can also mean "slightly higher in pitch". If two simultaneous notes are slightly out of tune, the higher-pitched one (assuming the lower one is properly pitched) is said to be sharp with respect to the other. SEE ALSO |
