Abstract:
In one aspect, provided herein is a device for notating a musical composition. The device, in various implementations, is structured so as to be less laborious to notate, easier to read, and more simple to employ in notating, reading, and/or playing the music of a given composition to be composed and/or played. Accordingly, in its most basic form, the device herein disclosed includes a template, upon which template one or more symbols may be notated, where such notation is configured in a manner that more closely relates the note to be played with the mechanical action needed to be performed so as to play that note, such as on an instrument to be or being played.

Claim (Index 7):
A method of playing a musical composition on an instrument, the method comprising:\n providing an instrument, the instrument having a keyboard comprised of keys for the playing of musical notes, a display for displaying an electronic tablature comprising a displayed note to be played, and a plurality of indicating elements positioned proximate the keys of the keyboard for indicating which of the keys of the keyboard is to be manipulated so as to sound the musical note corresponding to the displayed note to be played; displaying, on the display of the instrument, a plurality of representations, a first representation comprising a plurality of offset bar ends, the bar ends demarcating a measure for the composition to be played; a second representation comprising one or more musical notes to be played positioned within the bar ends, the second representation being a symbol having a relative size and a color, wherein the symbol comprises a letter or a number, the letter or number indicating an identity of the musical note to be played, the relative size demarcating a number of counts during which the musical note is to be played within the measure, the color indicating form which octave the musical note to be played is derived, and where the symbol is repeated a number of times within the measure, the number of times the symbol is repeated indicates the number of times the musical note is to be played within that measure; and\n indicating, by activation of the indicating element which key of the keyboard is to be manipulated for playing of the composition in such a manner that the displaying of the musical note to be played on the display corresponds to the indicating of which key is to be manipulated on the keyboard so as to sound the musical note corresponding to the displayed musical note to be played.
