• Basic Notation

  • The plural of staff is staves.
  • The grand staff consists of two staves, one that uses a treble clef, and one that uses a bass clef.
  • The staves are connected by a curly brace.
  • Grand staves are used frequently for notating piano music and other polyphonic instruments.

• The Staff

  • The staff (plural staves) is written as five horizontal parallel lines.
  • Staves are read from left to right.
  • If staves should be played at the same time (by the same person or by different people), they will be connected at least by a long vertical line at the left hand side.
  • Staves played by similar instruments or voices, or staves that should be played by the same person (for example, the right hand and left hand of a piano part) may be grouped together by braces or brackets at the beginning of each line.
  • (b) When many staves are to be played at the same time, as in this orchestral score, the lines for similar instruments - all the violins, for example, or all the strings - may be marked with braces or brackets.

• The Wilderness Road

  • It was a rough mud trail, hardly more than a path; however, they were successful in carving out a road for settlers while staving off numerous Indian attacks.
