The Description of the System of Musical Notations

Summary/Abstract: The semantic aspect of the simplest kind of the system of musical notation (SMN) is under consideration. The meaning criteria for SMN are formulated, and three types of correspondence of musical notation to its signifié (musical sounds) are described, each of these types of correspondence constituting a sign. In the signs Of the 1st type the height of the tone corresponds to the name of the symbol; in the signs of the 2nd type the length of the tone corresponds to the position of the symbol; in the signs of the 3rd type the symbol corresponds to the specific tone of the given musical instrument. Each of the types of signs is described as the mutual correspondence of the two sets of elements arranged in a peculiar manner. It is shown that in SMN where these three types of signs are used, symbols corresponding to the tones characterized by the different altitude, length, and musical instruments, are distinguished graphically.
