Description

The invention relates to means for performing musical writing and recording musical texts by recording musical, including musical, characters in various coordination systems of these characters, including on a stave.

Of the existing technical developments, the following systems are known, including a stave with musical notes and a base positioned relative to it with colored symbols corresponding to musical signs, characterized in that the base consists of horizontal rows corresponding to steps of the scale and vertical columns corresponding to positioned ones relative to them with musical notes, while at the intersection of horizontal rows with vertical columns, cells are formed for placing symbols of musical notes nakov, and the indicated symbols in each horizontal row, starting from the first stage of the scale, are painted in colors corresponding to the sequence of colors of the rainbow spectrum, see RF patent No. 10485. In this system, the symbols are in the form of cells that have a rectangular shape, elongated horizontally or vertically, or a square shape. The number of horizontal rows corresponds to the number of steps of the main scale.

Many controllers are known for connecting to a computer or digital device that provide the ability to produce sounds by pressing their keys, which are interpreted by electrical signals by said digital devices through an appropriate audio circuit to produce a specific sound. These types of controllers have a configuration that is similar to a traditional musical instrument, such as a piano keyboard, guitar, wind instruments, etc., so that although they can be used to digitally generate sounds from many musical instruments, it’s common for them to that they are used only to reproduce the sounds of a musical instrument to which their external configuration corresponds. To use these controllers, you must have a musical education, as well as knowledge of the use of a particular instrument.

So, for example, the music controller according to RF patent No. 2484536 is known, which is made in the form of a housing in which a control circuit is installed, to which a series of sensors or keys are attached, which are placed on the surface of the specified housing in three rows. In this case, the first row of sensors corresponds to notes of the diatonic scale, that is, notes that do not have alteration signs (or with alteration signs, if this note was marked in a frame), and for this purpose a stave is presented on this case, where each sensor or key is installed according to possible notes that can be performed on the specified stave. The second row of sensors or keys is located parallel to the previous row, where these sensors or keys correspond to the sounds a half-tone lower: flat flats (or a double flat or a backar if this note was marked in a frame). Sensors or keys of the third row correspond to sounds half a pitch higher: sharp (or double sharp, or backar, if this note was marked in a frame). This device may include a display with which operational data can be displayed, as well as the choice of that type of musical instrument. In addition, this device has a light indicator corresponding to each sensor / key and located parallel to this sensor / key, where the musical note that has been activated is highlighted.

Numerous musical editors are known (Sibelius, Finale, etc.), which are computer programs designed primarily for typing musical notes. Note editors allow you to enter, edit, print musical notes of different complexity and for different purposes.

The disadvantage of all known editors is that they are inconvenient in operation, require complex conversions of the input information, do not take into account the practice of musical writing. Working with existing means of notation is more time consuming than writing notes by hand. Using these tools requires mastering a large volume of special skills. These programs do not take into account the specifics of musical recording and the psychology of users - primarily musicians.

The management tools of existing music typing programs are devices such as a computer keyboard, mouse, and MIDI keyboard, the design of which does not meet the requirements of a set of musical texts, because it does not take into account the structure and sequence of actions of musical writing. Thus, at present, there are no devices specially designed for musical notation and designed taking into account its specifics. This is the reason for the great complexity of musical notation at present. Without special technology and the means that implement it for digital or electronic musical writing, the process of computer musical writing is very complex and limited.

The objective of the invention is to create a simple, convenient technology for the direct implementation of musical, including musical, writing and digital or electronic recording of musical texts, which would not require complex transformations and special skills, but at the same time would take into account the specifics of musical writing, exclude a lot the number of errors and would greatly simplify the creation of musical texts of any, including the highest, complexity.
