I will often compose simultaneously on staff paper and in a DAW (Reason) at the same time. I like how the midi sequencer in the DAW visually represents the distance between pitches. Is there notation software that allows you to edit notes on both staff and midi sequencer at the same time? I want to be able to enter notes on the sequencer and have it show up in the staff, and I want to be able to enter notes on the staff and have it show up on the sequencer. I haven't touched Sibelius or Finale in a decade so I don't know or cant remember if they have that capability. Also if anyone just has general suggestions for notation software please respond! THANKS!
A long time ago I used to work on cakewalk and I remember writing notes on a staff, choosing instruments, and having them play with the live audio I recorded. I'm assuming it was something in midi and preloaded instruments or something. It was like twenty years ago so I don't remember exactly how it worked but I know I did that.
I can't find a similar feature in ardour and a quick internet search looks like that feature won't exist because it is more complicated than it sounds.
Does this feature exist and I'm just not finding it? Or is there a workflow where I can write out something on a staff and have it play as a track along with the live audio I recorded?
I feel like I'll have to buy a midi adapter if I want other sounds and play from the keyboard. But I feel like I want to map out on a staff rather than play.
Relatedly my workflow is too many steps now. Hydrogen for the simple drums. Then into tascam 8 track digital recorded because I have timing issues recording directly into a daw. Record all tracks on tascam them import to daw for post production. Then record additional parts on tascam as needed. Then video myself pretending to play live, edit and publish. Just getting to be a bit much. Accessing additional sounds from a staff would cut down part of the process.
Idk maybe I'm thinking about things wrong.
This notation is a little confusing. I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips. As I'm understanding it, I'm supposed to change strings mid bow, in order to slur D->A and D->B? Or am I supposed to slur to A and B from the inner string? Thank you for any advice!
Although western tonal notation, or staff notation, can seem like it's the only way to write down music, there are more different approaches to music notation than any one person could know. I'd love to hear about different kinds of notation that you think are interesting, especially if I missed them in my video. Hope you enjoy! :)
Its an indian raga called Todi. If someone could show me how the ascending notes look on paper id be very grateful. My daughters name is Todi Aruhi (ascension). I want it on my arm.
In other words, do we think of notes with a more frequent frequency as being "higher" because that is how we write notes on the staff. Or did music notation come to write notes this way because the concept of "high" and "low" notes already existed?
Please correct me if Iβm wrong, but wasnβt tablature the standard for guitar until (relatively) recently? Lute tab format seems to make a lot more sense than staff notation to me.
Hey all, found this notation for a guitar part (in the intro to Texas Flood by SRV). It's a dotted line above the staff, in parentheses, with a + sign and an eighth note, Any idea what it means?
I want to learn advanced music theory but everything I find to learn from uses staff notation, which is almost entirely useless for most producers who don't plan on playing a real instrument. Learning on a piano roll is the way to go, since staff notation requires tons of extra mental energy to utilize and learn from. Staff notation is good for playing instruments. I'm not playing an instrument so it's useless to me.
If you're planning to reply telling me how important staff notation then please don't reply. I'm just looking for resources.
Best looking option I see right now is the book "Music Theory for Computer Musicians" but I'm thinking there might be better options. Thank you!
trying to write banjo tab within fingering notation
note that \rightHandFinger doesn't really do what I want. it gives p-i-m-a in the staff but not the tab.
the "T", "I", "M" markups match what I want to produce, similar to the tabs on this dummies page
and the \tabFullNotation puts those T-I-M marks on the tab where I want them. but it also puts them on the staff which is just extra clutter.
i could just drop the staff because the tab is the important part but it would be nice to keep both.
is there any way to skip the markup in the staff output but keep it in the tab? kind of like turning off \tabFullNotation but for staff?
T = \markup { \smallCaps t }
I = \markup { \smallCaps i }
M = \markup { \smallCaps m }
forwardRoll = {
\time 4/4
\key c \major
g8 -\T b -\I d' -\M
g -\T b -\I d' -\M
g -\T d' -\M |
}
\score { <<
\new Staff <<
\clef "G_8"
\override Staff.StringNumber #'transparent = ##t
\forwardRoll
>>
\new TabStaff <<
\tabFullNotation
\set TabStaff.stringTunings = #banjo-open-g-tuning
\new TabVoice { \slurUp \stemDown \forwardRoll }
>>

Hi to everyone,
I'm new to Kalimba, and I want to know if it's possible (and how) to transpose staff notation tabs to Kalimba tabs.
Anyone can help me?
I know I'll probably catch some flak for this in this subreddit, but I'm really enjoying my time learning music theory.
However, almost all of the resources out there are in sheet music. I'm not great at reading sheet music, because I don't ever use it when I'm making the music I enjoy, and I don't see myself using it in the future. I write in a DAW using MIDI, and it would be great if there were some resources out there that will help me build the connections between musical concepts and the notation I use on a daily basis.
I have the basics of theory down, how to build chords, some modal mixture, and the very basics of melody (keys, modes), pretty much everything in Music Theory the tl;dr version, but I'm looking to move further, into some more intermediate concepts such as melody structure and voice leading.
It's finally done! After 6 months of development and beta testing, here it is!
EDIT: I have created a sub-reddit: /r/FlamingNotes to discuss new features, feedback, etc. Do check it out and participate.

I'd love to hear about different approaches to notation that you find interesting, or if you yourself have used a novel form of notation. Would be especially cool to hear about notations I didn't cover in the video.
