RWL Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I must not be using the right search terms. I periodically see references to c' or c'' but I need a chart to show me where they are on the music staff. Does anybody have a link to a chart showing note names on the staff using the c' a' a'' system? Is c' the same as middle c? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moll Peatly Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) Helmholtz notation So yes, c' is middle c (or C4 in scientific notation). Edited September 13, 2021 by Moll Peatly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcoover Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 And to add to the confusion, middle c is "C" in abc notation. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for a staff labled like the one below, but with the C' C'' system that I see used when citing the range of a concertina https://www.shutterstock.com/image-vector/musical-notes-names-staff-treble-clef-1476389549 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Barnert Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Hi, Bob- This doesn’t answer your question? It’s not laid out like you request, but all the information is there. You should be able to construct the staff you’re looking for from what is provided right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Barnert Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 There. I’ve done it for you. I don’t have a lot of space remaining to post images here, so I emailed it to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Barnert Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Moll linked to the Wikipedia article on Helmholtz notation. I just had a look and found this there: That’s pretty much the same thing I just emailed you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
