The same system or very similar systems are used to some extent in some Europe an countries, and are popular in some Asia n countries. This article first describes the Chinese ''jianpu'' in some detail, then describes its possible variations. NUMBERED NOTATION DESCRIBED Musical note Numbers 1 to 7 represents the Musical Note s. They always correspond to the Diatonic Major Scale . For example, in the Key of C major, their relationship with the notes and the Solfege is shown below: Note: C D E F G A B Solfege: do re mi fa sol la ti Notation: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Octave change Dots above or below a musical note raise or lower it to other Octave s. The number of dots equals the number of octaves. For example, "6" with a dot below is at an octave lower than "6". Musical scales can thus be written like this: . major scale: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 natural minor scale: 6 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 · · Note length The plain number represents a Quarter Note . Underlines shorten it. One underline represents an Eighth Note , two underlines represent a Sixteenth Note , and so on. Notice how the underline imitates the number of flags in the Standard Notation . The underlines may even be joined together like beaming in the standard notation. Dashes after a note lengthen it, each dash by the length of a quarter note. A Dot after the plain or underlined note works increases its length by half, and Two Dots increases by three-quarter, similar to the standard notation. The rule is different for notes longer than the quarter note. An additional dot after the dashes actually means half the length of a quarter note. whole: 1 - - - dotted whole: 1 - - - - - double dotted: 1 - - - - - - half: 1 - dotted half: 1 - - double dotted: 1 - - · quarter: 1 dotted quarter: 1· double dotted: 1·· eighth: 1 dotted eighth: 1· double dotted: 1·· 16th: 1 = Musical rest |
