A clef assigns one particular pitch to one particular line of the staff on which it is placed. This also effectively defines the pitch range or tessituraof the music on that staff. A clef is usually the leftmost symbol on a staff, although a different clef may appear elsewhere to indicate a change in register. Historically, clefs could be placed on...
In American usage, musical note and restvalues have names that indicate their length relative to a whole note. A half note is half the length of a whole note, a quarter note is one quarter the length, etc.
Common accidentals
Accidentalsmodify the pitch of the notes that follow them on the same staff position within a measure, unless cancelled by an additional accidental.
Key signatures
Key signatures indicate which notes are to be played as sharps or flats in the music that follows, showing up to seven sharps or flats. Notes that are shown as sharp or flat in a key signature will be played that way in every octave—e.g., a key signature with a B♭ indicates that every B is played as a B♭. A key signature indicates the prevailing keyof the music and eliminates the need to use accidentals for the notes that are always flat or sharp in that key. A key signature with no flats or...
Microtones
There is no universally accepted notation for microtonal music, with varying systems being used depending on the situation. A common notation for quarter tonesinvolves writing the fraction ¼ next to an arrow pointing up or down. Below are other forms of notation: A symbol with one vertical and three diagonal bars indicates a sharp with some form of alternate tuning. In 19 equal temperament, where a whole tone is divided into three steps instead of two, music is typically notated in a way that...
Most music has a rhythmic pulse with a uniform number of beats—each segment of this pulse is shown as a measure. Time signatures indicate the number of beats in each measure (the top number) and also show what type of note represents a single beat (the bottom number). There may be any number of beats in a measure but the most common by far are mult...
Dynamics are indicators of the relative intensity or volume of a musical line. Rarely, even softer or louder dynamic levels are indicated by adding more ps or fs. While ppp is called "pianississimo" and fff is called "fortississimo", these words (formed by adding an additional "iss") are not proper Italian. Dynamics are relative, and the meaning of...
Articulations specify the length, volume, and style of attack of individual notes. This category includes accents. Articulations can be combined with one another and may appear in conjunction with phrasing marks (above). Any of these markings may be placed either above or below a note.
8va and 15ma are sometimes abbreviated further to 8 and 15. When they appear below the staff, the word bassais sometimes added.
Guitar
The guitar has a fingerpickingnotation system derived from the names of the fingers in Spanish or Latin. They are written above, below, or beside the note to which they are attached. They read as follows:

Harp
Fingering numbers are similar to piano, except there is no 5 as the little finger is not used in playing the harp. 1 = thumb, 2 = index finger, 3 = middle finger, 4 = ring finger.
In probability theory and statistics, the Poisson distribution is a discrete probability distribution that expresses the probability of a given number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time if these events occur with a known constant mean rate and independently of the time since the last event.
