 |
staff, stave or pentagram: a framework of five lines on which musical notation is written such that the higher the note-sign on the staff the higher its pitch |
 |
system: notation of a line of music including all the parts and voices involved, presented in a group of two or more staves which are joined together on the left hand side by a vertical bar (called a systemic barline) and a brace (the brace is not shown in this image) |
 |
barline: a vertical line (or lines) drawn across a staff (or if there are many lines, across a number of staves) to mark off measures (or bars) of a particular length, i.e. containing a number of notes and/or rests whose total time value is given by the time signature |
|
|
 |
dashed, dotted or auxiliary barline: used to mark divisions within a bar (measure), i.e. between two solid barlines, or to show that the barline is not necessarily marking periodic agogic accents in the music (as where unbarred polyphonic music is edited with barlines, or the work employs mixed metres) |
 |
music start: barline placed at the beginning of a section of a piece of music |
 |
music end: barline denoting the end of a piece of music |
|
|
brace: used with a line to joining multiple staves, for example, as found in piano music |
 |
bracket: used with a perpendicular line joining multiple staves, for example, as found in piano music |
 |
clef: graphical symbol placed on the left of the stave which establishes the relationship between particular note names and their position on the staff lines and spaces (i.e. tells us which pitch "class" that stave belongs to).
At the suggestion of Nick Meiners, we show the relative pitch positions of the commonly used clefs
G-clef (e.g. treble clef) marks G above middle C
C-clef (e.g. alto clef) marks middle C
F-clef (e.g. bass clef) marks F below middle C

 |
old C-clef sign, i.e. old alto, tenor, soprano, baritone and mezzosoprano clef sign |
 |
a G-clef sign found in the score of La Bohème by Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924) published by Ricordi: a G-clef used for the tenor voice (for this reason it is called the tenor G clef), where the note sounds one octave lower than written had the clef been the standard treble G clef

 |
a C-clef sign found in the score of Sankey and Stebbins - The Male Chorus, 'for use in Gospel Meetings, Christian Associations and other Religious Services' which marks middle C as being on the second space from the top of four. The clef is equivalent to an octave G clef called the tenor G clef where that space would be occupied by a C one octave above middle C but the note sounds one octave lower
