How to use word to make musical notation
We know that there are professional music notation software for making simple musical notation. However, the widespread application of Office has brought great convenience to us in making some simple musical notations. convenient. We can flexibly use the text editing Word series software (97/2000/xp is acceptable) to create some commonly used simplified musical notations. Let’s take a look at a simplified score first: "Little Grass", the episode of the opera "Heart of Grass" 1=C 4/4 Little Grass 1. ||:66． ． 17. 6. - | 66． ． 32 3 - | 33 53 22 1 77． ． | 6. ·5． 3. -:|| Without the fragrance of flowers, not as tall as trees, I am a little grass that no one knows. Never lonely, never troubled, you see I have friends everywhere 2. 6. 6. 5． 6. - | 7 6 3 7 6 3 | 56 65 3 - | 7 6 3 7 6 3 | The ends of the earth. Spring breeze, spring breeze, you blow me green, sunshine, sunshine, you 56 6 b 5 3 - | 2 2 6． 2 2 4 |32 21 2 - | 2 2 6． 1 1 2 | Shine on me, rivers and mountains, you have nurtured me, earth, mother, 76． ． 65． ． 6. -‖ I hugged you tightly. Let’s talk about how this score is arranged. First, enter all the notes, some musical symbols and lyrics that can be input using the keyboard. Then compare the original score to find other symbols that appear in the score that cannot be entered directly with the keyboard, and find the "Symbol" option from the "Insert" menu in the main menu of Word (or right-click on a blank page) The "Symbol" option appears), click it, and you can find the following musical symbols: starting line and ending line "‖" and "∶". It is best not to use the colon on the keyboard to replace the double dots of this starting line. . Bar line "|", this kind of bar line can also be entered directly from the vertical bar key on the keyboard. The dotted character "·" is best not to use the decimal point key on the keyboard (because the decimal point is positioned lower). Finally, place these symbols at the corresponding notes. In addition, some notes appearing in the score require some technical processing to achieve the desired effect. For example: 1. Input of whole notes: numbers plus three short lines. It is best to leave half a space between each note for better appearance. 2. Input of eighth notes: Numbers are underlined. To underline, you can click the "U" icon in the format bar, or right-click the mouse after selecting the correct number, and select "Single Line" in "Underline" in the "Font" tab. 3. Input of sixteenth notes: numbers underlined (double lines). The method is the same as single line, except select "double line" in "underline". 4. Input the flat 5 note: first write the lowercase letter b and the number 5, and then set the b as a superscript. The method is also to bring up the font tab like setting the underline single line, and set the letter b in the font tab to Superscript, finally becomes b 5. 5. The starting line and the ending line are composed of double vertical lines and double dots. After finding the two symbols, set the font spacing between them. When it reaches a certain value, a beautiful effect can be achieved (different font sizes Different spacing values ??can be set). When I set the note font size to size 3, their spacing value is set to "Compress 10 points". 6. Bass input: 6. For example, first enter 6, then select 6 to bring up the font tab, and select "·" in the "emphasis mark" to achieve the effect. 7. Input the repeated jump number: First enter the numbers and decimal points of the repeated jump number, and input them in separate lines from the main notes, and then set their line spacing to be slightly smaller, until you finally achieve the effect you are satisfied with. Then draw some short-line combinations in the form of jump numbers in the drawing toolbar. In addition, there will be high notes in some songs, so how to deal with it? This method of inputting notes is more difficult, but there are ways. Let's take "·1" as an example to see how it is entered. First, write the small dot (not the decimal point) and the note 1 found in the "Symbol" option mentioned above in the form of ·1. After selecting both together, click the Format menu in the main menu and select "Combined Characters". Select "Vertical and Horizontal Mixing" in the dialog box and you can roughly see the prototype of treble · 1, but it is not yet a satisfactory effect. We can select "· 1", right-click the mouse, and select "Switch Field Code" to appear. In the following "· 1" code, change the 8-size font symbol "1" in the code to the corresponding size you need, such as changing it to 5-size font, and the number 4 before 1 and -4 before the dot both mean ·The distance between the top and bottom of 1 can be changed and adjusted, and finally a satisfactory effect can be achieved. For example, if I change the field code to "·1", I can see the high note "·1".
It can be seen that we can input general music scores in this form, but after all, Word is not a professional tool for making simplified musical notations. It cannot input many other special symbols in simplified musical notations, such as slurs, double treble, double bass, etc. Thirty-second notes and so on. However, Word, the word processing software, is already quite good at achieving such results.
