It is simple to have a chromatic scale using a standard music stave. The huge
advantage is that you play the note you see, which obviates the need for sharp
flat and natural symbols.
This is how it’s done.
The colours used are red green and yellow. Because I like those colours. It
doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m gay.
Middle ‘C’ is red. The next note up, C#/Db, is green. The next note up, ‘D’,
is yellow.
The next note up ‘D#/Eb is red. So on and so forth ad infinitum. The position
of a note on the stave together with it’s colour indicates precisely which
note on the keyboard is to be played.
Taking the treble part of the stave as an example, the default colour for the
bottom line is green and indicates the note ‘E’. If the colour of the note on
the bottom line were red then this would indicate the note ‘Eb’ is to be
played.
Similarly the default note colour for the space below the bottom line, ‘D’, is
yellow. If the colour of the note in this space were red, it would indicate
that the note ‘D#’ is to be played.
Further simplification would be achieved if a standard form of notation could
be agreed upon. I would
favour, ‘C’, ‘Db, ‘D’, ‘Eb’, ‘E’, ‘F’, ‘Gb’, ‘G’, ‘Ab’, ‘A’, ‘Bb’,’B’, but,
some sort of referendum would be required, polling the best musical brains in
the country, to see if a standard form was viable and desireable.
I believe you have a Richard Parnutt working in this area, I'm sure he would
be interested in the above.
