Notes Placement Using A Grand Staff

Notes Placement Using A Grand Staffbr
br
br
I need some help with correct note placement using this method, and please correct me if I’m wrong, and I won’t bite grrr.br
br
br
So the treble clef notes are for a melody / top linebr
br
and the treble clef notes are above middle C 3 in live.br
br
And the notes layout on a Treble Clef Staff are br
br
Fbr
Ebr
Dbr
Cbr
Bbr
Abr
Gbr
Fbr
Ebr
br
br
br
And the bass clef notes are below middle Cbr
And the bass clef notes are for kick bass, sub lead chords pads br
br
And the notes layout on a Bass Clef Staff is br
br
Abr
Gbr
Fbr
Ebr
Dbr
Cbr
Bbr
Abr
Gbr
br
br
So in theory I could use a bass clef for the kick on the G0 note, bass on a 5th D1 note and the main lead notes and the break down chords pad between A2 and A3. And use a treble clef for the melody / top line, above C3 on the E,F,G,A,B,C,D,E,F br
br
And would G be the root note because it is a down beat and would A minor C major be the scales that could be use?

Can you please help to answer the topic questions or clarify the topic or is there someone on your team who can help me with my questions.br

Also I am learning how to read music notation, music theory, song writing theory midi orchestration. And I would like to write an electronic sympathy.

It’s really something I am pretty week on… Have you tried any daws with notation built in. I.e cubase or Sibelius.

My suggestion would be to read a few books about this! To get the information that you require to do a symphony.

It’s been a long time ago since I used the terminology but here’s a shot at explaining… /PPFor piano there’s mostly an annotation with two combined staves (one with a G-clef and onenbsp;with an F-clef beneath)nbsp;which kind flow into each other at the “central C” of the piano (I assume it corresponds with C3, but it’s been such a long time since I’ve been playing on a real piano instead of a modern keyboard).nbsp; This C is the note that falls in between the two staves with the auxiliary line. /PP(For violins there is often an extra stave between these two with a C-clef on it. )/PPThe easiest way to remember how to read the staves is this: The point at which you start drawing the clef is the line at which the correspondingnbsp;pitch is located.nbsp; So if you draw a G-clef, the line at which you start is the second from the bottom, which from then on is destined to cary the G-notes.nbsp; Similarly: you start The F-clef with a dot on the second line from the top, assigning the F to that line.nbsp; /PPNow for your next part, I’m not 100% what mean by:/PP[quote]Rob… (26/06/2013)[hr]Notes Placement Using A Grand StaffBRBRBRSo in theory I could use a bass clef for the kick on the G0 note, bass on a 5th D1 note and the main lead notes and the break down chords amp; pad between A2 and A3.

I dont know anything about notation as ive never needed to write notation or use it to create music. If i did need to give an instrumentalist sheet music i would print it from Cubase notation editor.br
br
Rob why do you need to be so abrasive? nicowuyts was just trying to help and you just insulted him. There really is no need for it. br
br

br

br
If his response above is not meant as a joke in any way - then he’s just ***** rude and needs to go!
