Document Summary
Staffs/staves - five lines and four spaces that occur between the lines. Lines and spaces are numbered upward from bottom to the top. Letter names cannot be given until a clef is determined. The treble/g clef (second staff is always g) The bass/f clef (fourth line is always f) Neutral clef (no exact letter name is assigned. The alto/c clef (the third line is always middle c) The tenor clef (the fourth line of the staff is always middle c) Contains seven letters: a, b, c, d, e, f, and g. See example 1. 9 for letter-named pitches on each clef. May appear in different positions, naming various lines as c. positioning avoids excessive use of ledger lines and spaces to best accommodate various instruments. Ledger lines and ledger spaces are used when notes extend beyond the range of the staff. Enable one to write specified notes beyond the range of a five-live staff.
