code string VexFlow's Glyph.renderGlyph() takes, so it
doubles as the lookup key for anything you render yourself. This page needs a live internet connection on
open, to fetch VexFlow from cdnjs.
The five parallel lines and four spaces on which pitch is notated. Each line and space corresponds to a specific diatonic pitch once a clef is assigned.
Implementation note A notation engine represents the staff as 5 equally-spaced horizontal rules; vertical position (line/space index) plus the active clef determines pitch.
Short extra lines added above or below the staff to notate pitches that fall outside its five lines.
Implementation note Ledger lines are generated programmatically at the staff-space interval outward from the staff edge, only as far as the notated pitch requires.
A single vertical line drawn through the staff that separates one measure (bar) from the next.
Two thin vertical lines indicating a change within a piece, such as a new section.
A thin line followed by a thick line, marking the conclusion of a movement or composition.
A dashed vertical line used to subdivide a measure of complex or irregular meter into shorter, more readable segments.
A thick/thin double barline with two dots in the two middle spaces, marking the start of a passage to be repeated.
A thin/thick double barline with two dots, marking the end of a repeated passage. With no matching left repeat sign, it sends the performer back to the start of the piece or movement.
A large curly bracket connecting two or more staves that are played simultaneously, typically by a single player (e.g. piano grand staff).
A straight vertical line with right-angled serifs connecting staves that sound simultaneously; in modern scores it typically groups instrument families or individual staves of a section.
A stylized letter G whose spiral centres on the second line of the staff, fixing that line as the G above middle C. Used for higher-pitched instruments and voices.
A stylized letter F whose two dots straddle the fourth line of the staff, fixing that line as the F below middle C. Used for lower-pitched instruments and voices.
A C clef centred on the middle (third) line of the staff, fixing that line as middle C. Chiefly used for the viola.
A C clef centred on the fourth line of the staff, fixing that line as middle C. Used for the upper register of cello, bassoon, and trombone.
Two thick vertical bars centred on the staff, used for unpitched percussion instruments; the lines and spaces do not indicate specific pitches.
The letters “TAB” stacked at the start of a staff whose lines represent an instrument's strings, not pitches, used for guitar and other fretted-string tablature.
A small '8' printed below (or above) a clef indicating that the passage sounds one octave lower (or higher) than the unmodified clef would indicate — e.g. the 'treble clef 8vb' commonly used for tenor voice and guitar.
A small '15' below or above a clef indicating a two-octave transposition of the written pitches, used mainly for extreme-register instruments (e.g. piccolo, contrabass).
An open, oval notehead with no stem. Duration equal to 1 whole note, independent of tempo.
Implementation note Flag count equals the corresponding rest's branch count for the same duration; beams may replace flags when notes are grouped.
An open notehead with a plain stem. Duration equal to 1/2 of a whole note, independent of tempo.
Implementation note Flag count equals the corresponding rest's branch count for the same duration; beams may replace flags when notes are grouped.
A filled notehead with a plain stem. Duration equal to 1/4 of a whole note, independent of tempo.
Implementation note Flag count equals the corresponding rest's branch count for the same duration; beams may replace flags when notes are grouped.
A filled notehead, stem, and one flag (or beam, when grouped). Duration equal to 1/8 of a whole note, independent of tempo.
Implementation note Flag count equals the corresponding rest's branch count for the same duration; beams may replace flags when notes are grouped.
A filled notehead, stem, and two flags (or beams, when grouped). Duration equal to 1/16 of a whole note, independent of tempo.
Implementation note Flag count equals the corresponding rest's branch count for the same duration; beams may replace flags when notes are grouped.
A filled notehead, stem, and three flags (or beams, when grouped). Duration equal to 1/32 of a whole note, independent of tempo.
Implementation note Flag count equals the corresponding rest's branch count for the same duration; beams may replace flags when notes are grouped.
A filled notehead, stem, and four flags (or beams, when grouped). Duration equal to 1/64 of a whole note, independent of tempo.
Implementation note Flag count equals the corresponding rest's branch count for the same duration; beams may replace flags when notes are grouped.
The curved hook(s) attached to a stem that shorten a note's duration by successive halves relative to a quarter note: one flag = eighth, two = sixteenth, and so on.
A thick horizontal (or angled) bar connecting the stems of two or more eighth notes or shorter, replacing individual flags to show rhythmic grouping.
Implementation note Beam angle typically follows the melodic contour of the grouped notes, flattened for very wide pitch spans.
A filled rectangle hanging below the second staff line from the top. By convention also used as a rest for a whole measure regardless of time signature.
A filled rectangle sitting on top of the middle staff line.
A vertical squiggle-shaped mark occupying the middle of the staff.
A short stroke with one hooked flag and a small filled head.
A short stroke with two hooked flags and a small filled head.
A short stroke with three hooked flags and a small filled head.
A short stroke with four hooked flags and a small filled head.
A thick horizontal bar with tick marks at each end (and a number above indicating the measure count) used as a compact way to notate several consecutive measures of rest.
A dot placed to the right of a notehead that lengthens the note's duration by one half of its original value.
Additional dots, each lengthening the previous dot (not the original note) by half its value: one dot = 1.5× the note, two dots = 1.75×, three dots = 1.875×.
A curved line connecting two noteheads of the same pitch, indicating they are performed as a single sustained note whose duration is the sum of both notated values.
Implementation note A tie always joins identical pitches; a curve joining different pitches is a slur, not a tie.
A notehead enclosed in parentheses, indicating a note with a rhythmic value but no clearly discernible pitch (common in drum-set and muted-string notation).
A comma-like mark placed above the staff telling a singer or wind player to take a breath, normally implying a slight shortening of the preceding note.
Two slashes (“railroad tracks”) placed above the staff indicating a brief pause during which time is not counted.
A bracket (or beam) with a number above it grouping notes that occupy a rhythmic space they would not normally fill — a quarter-note triplet fits 3 quarter notes in the space of 2.
Lowers the pitch of the note it precedes by one semitone.
Raises the pitch of the note it precedes by one semitone.
Cancels a previously active sharp or flat, whether introduced as an accidental earlier in the measure or by the key signature.
Lowers the pitch of the note it precedes by two semitones (a whole tone).
Raises the pitch of the note it precedes by two semitones (a whole tone); conventionally drawn as a bold ×.
A microtonal accidental lowering the pitch by one quarter tone (a half-flat), commonly drawn as a flat with a single closed loop or slashed stem.
Implementation note Microtonal accidental shapes are not fully standardized across publishers — confirm the target house style before rendering.
A microtonal accidental lowering the pitch by three quarter tones, typically drawn as a quarter-flat combined with a full flat.
A microtonal accidental raising the pitch by one quarter tone, typically drawn as a sharp with a single vertical stroke instead of two.
A microtonal accidental raising the pitch by three quarter tones. Occasionally represented with two vertical and three diagonal bars instead of the form shown here.
A group of flat signs placed immediately after the clef, in a fixed order (B♭–E♭–A♭–D♭–G♭–C♭–F♭), showing every flat that applies for the remainder of the line unless cancelled.
Implementation note The flat order is the reverse of the sharp order; the key name equals the second-to-last flat (or is memorised per number of flats).
A group of sharp signs placed immediately after the clef, in a fixed order (F♯–C♯–G♯–D♯–A♯–E♯–B♯), showing every sharp that applies for the remainder of the line unless cancelled.
Implementation note The key name is a perfect fifth above the last sharp shown.
A key signature with no sharps or flats, generally indicating C major or A minor (or, in modal/atonal writing, no fixed tonal centre).
Two stacked numerals: the top shows beats per measure, the bottom shows which note value equals one beat. Simple meters have an upper number of 2, 3, or 4.
Implementation note Example shown: 3/4 — three quarter-note beats per measure.
A time signature (commonly upper numbers 6, 9, or 12) in which each main beat subdivides into three, rather than two, smaller units.
Implementation note Example shown: 6/8 — two dotted-quarter beats per measure, each made of three eighth notes.
A meter that cannot be evenly subdivided into groups of two or three beats, e.g. 5/4 or 11/8; often internally grouped (e.g. 2+3) for readability.
A large C-like glyph representing 4/4 time (four quarter-note beats per measure). Derives from a broken circle representing “imperfect” duple meter in 14th-century mensural notation.
A C-like glyph bisected by a vertical stroke, representing 2/2 time (two half-note beats per measure).
A curved line drawn over or under a group of different pitches showing they are to be played legato — the first note is attacked, the rest flow without rearticulation. In vocal music, indicates the notes are sung to a single syllable.
A mark visually identical to a slur but drawn over a longer passage — often spanning several measures — to indicate a complete musical phrase.
A continuous, uninterrupted glide between two notes that sounds every pitch in between. Bowed strings and trombone can glide continuously (portamento); other instruments such as harp or piano approximate it by sliding rapidly across discrete pitches.
A wavy vertical line before a chord indicating its notes should be sounded in rapid succession (usually low to high) rather than simultaneously, with each note sustained as the others join in.
Two or more notes stacked on a single stem, sounded simultaneously. A two-note chord is called a dyad.
Extremely soft. Softer levels occur rarely and are notated with additional p's.
Very soft.
Soft.
Moderately soft — louder than piano.
Moderately loud — softer than forte. Treated as the default dynamic when none is marked.
Loud.
Very loud.
Extremely loud. Louder levels occur rarely and are notated with additional f's.
“Suddenly forced” — an abrupt, forceful accent applied to a single note or chord.
The note is attacked loudly, then immediately drops to a soft dynamic.
A gradual increase in volume; drawn as a hairpin (opening wedge) or abbreviated “cresc.” over an extended passage.
A gradual decrease in volume; drawn as a closing hairpin wedge or abbreviated “dim.” / “decresc.” over an extended passage.
Italian for “nothing”; placed at the start of a crescendo (“start from nothing”) or the end of a diminuendo (“fade to nothing”).
A dot above or below the notehead: the note is played shorter than written — usually half its notated value — with the remainder left as silence.
A small wedge (or hook) above or below the notehead indicating an even shorter, more detached articulation than staccato; usually applied to quarter notes or shorter.
A short horizontal line above or below the notehead indicating the note should be held for its full written value, or slightly beyond.
An arc with a dot placed above (or, inverted, below) a note, chord, or rest, indicating it is sustained longer than its written value at the performer's discretion. Usually marked in every simultaneous part of an ensemble.
A sideways wedge (>) above or below a note indicating it should be played louder, or with a harder attack, than the surrounding unaccented notes.
Implementation note No dedicated Unicode Musical Symbols codepoint exists for this mark — use the SMuFL reference below in production.
A vertical accent mark (resembling a small roof or caret) indicating the note should be played louder or more forcefully than a note with a plain accent.
A rapidly repeated single note, or rapid alternation between two notes. Diagonal slashes through the stem (or between the two noteheads) indicate the subdivision speed — more slashes, faster repetition.
A wavy horizontal line above the staff indicating a rapid, slight oscillation in pitch; notated with the same wavy-line symbol used for extended trills, disambiguated by context and instrument.
The letters “tr” (optionally followed by a wavy extension line) above a note, indicating rapid alternation between the written note and the next scale-step above it for the note's full duration.
A short zigzag above the note: rapidly play the principal note, the scale-step above it, then return to the principal note for the remaining duration.
Implementation note Terminology varies by tradition — some sources call the plain zigzag (no vertical line) simply “mordent” and reserve “upper/lower” for the auxiliary-note direction; confirm the convention your source material follows.
The mordent zigzag with a vertical line through it: rapidly play the principal note, the scale-step below it, then return to the principal note for the remaining duration.
An S-shaped symbol placed directly above a note, indicating (in order) the upper auxiliary note, the principal note, the lower auxiliary note, and a return to the principal note.
A turn symbol with a vertical line through it (or drawn upside-down), reversing the order of the auxiliary notes: lower auxiliary, principal, upper auxiliary, principal.
A full-sized small “grace” note printed before the main note. It borrows half the main note's duration (two-thirds if the main note is dotted), which is subtracted from the main note's written value.
Implementation note Notated as an unslashed small note, normally beamed or flagged, immediately before the principal notehead.
A small grace note with a diagonal slash through its stem/flag. It is performed extremely quickly, “as though brushed” just before the main note, which keeps virtually all of its notated duration.
Implementation note The slash is the sole notational difference from an appoggiatura and is essential for a transcription engine to preserve.
Placed above the staff with a dashed line over the affected passage: play one octave higher than written.
Placed below the staff with a dashed line under the affected passage: play one octave lower than written.
Placed above the staff: play two octaves higher than written.
Placed below the staff: play two octaves lower than written.
8va/15ma are sometimes abbreviated further to a bare “8” or “15”; when placed below the staff, the word “bassa” is sometimes appended.
A slash with a dot on each side, meaning “repeat the previous measure exactly.” A doubled version (two slashes) means repeat the previous two measures.
A horizontal bracket with a downward hook at its start (and a number/label) drawn over alternate endings of a repeated passage — performers take the ending matching the current pass through the repeat.
Literally “from the top”: repeat the music from the very beginning. Usually paired with al fine (repeat to the word Fine and stop) or al coda (jump to the coda at the coda sign).
Literally “from the sign”: repeat the music starting at the nearest preceding segno sign.
An ornate stylized S crossed with a diagonal stroke and two dots, marking the point referenced by dal segno.
Implementation note This one glyph is rendered from the Unicode Musical Symbols block via the viewer's system font rather than hand-drawn, since its ornamental shape is impractical to approximate with primitives; verify it renders (no “tofu” box) in your target environment, and fall back to the SMuFL glyph in production.
A circle bisected by a cross, marking a forward jump point (“al coda”) to the piece's closing section, which is marked with the same sign.
Marks the ending point of a piece when used together with a da capo or dal segno instruction.
A small clef printed at the end of a staff line previewing the clef (and implicitly the first pitch) that will open the next line or page.
On a bowed string instrument, the string is plucked with a finger rather than bowed.
The string is pulled away from the fingerboard and released so it snaps audibly against the frame of the instrument.
A small open circle above the notehead: play a natural harmonic (flageolet) at that string position; also sometimes denotes an open string.
On a valved brass instrument, the same open-circle symbol used for string harmonics tells the player to release a hand-stop or mute and play the note “open.”
A V-shaped mark (open at the top) above the note indicating the bow should move upward (toward the frog) while sounding it.
A bracket-shaped mark (⊓, open at the bottom) above the note indicating the bow should move downward (toward the tip) while sounding it.
Indicates a mute should be fitted to the instrument.
Indicates the mute should be removed; generally appears after a muted passage.
Letters derived from Spanish finger names — p (pulgar/thumb), i (índice/index), m (medio/middle), a (anular/ring), and occasionally c/x/e/q (meñique/little) — written above, below, or beside notes in classical-guitar notation.
Digits 1–5 identify which finger plays a note: 1 = thumb, 2 = index, 3 = middle, 4 = ring, 5 = little finger (American/standard usage).
Abbreviations indicating which hand plays a passage. Convention varies by language: L.H./R.H. (English), l.H./r.H. (German), m.g./m.d. (French), m.s./m.d. (Italian), m.i./m.d. (Spanish).
Pre-1940 British keyboard fingering: “+” for the thumb, then 1 (index), 2 (middle), 3 (ring), 4 (little finger).
Digits identify left-hand finger on bowed strings: 0 = open string, 1 = index, 2 = middle, 3 = ring, 4 = little finger.
A symbol (ϙ, or occasionally “T”) marking thumb position on cello or double bass.
Digits identify finger on harp, as with piano fingering but without a “5” — the little finger is not used in harp technique.
Numbers 1–4 identify each mallet in four-mallet keyboard-percussion technique, from far left (1) to far right (4).
Numbers 1–6 identify each mallet in six-mallet keyboard-percussion technique, from far left (1) to far right (6).
Tells the organist (or, in piano writing, the pianist) to depress the sustain pedal.
An asterisk marking where the sustain pedal is released.
Short vertical strokes mark the initial depress and final release of the sustain pedal; the horizontal line between them shows the pedal held down; an inverted-V shows a quick release-and-reapply.
Tells the pianist to depress the soft (left) pedal.
Tells the pianist to release the soft pedal.
Primary manual of the organ. Abbreviated “Gt.” in English scores (equivalents vary by language/publisher).
Secondary, expressive manual enclosed in a swell box. Abbreviated “Sw.” in English scores (equivalents vary by language/publisher).
A softer, more intimate accompanimental manual. Abbreviated “Ch.” in English scores (equivalents vary by language/publisher).
The foot-operated pedalboard division. Abbreviated “Ped.” in English scores (equivalents vary by language/publisher).
A manual voiced for solo melodic stops. Abbreviated “So.” in English scores (equivalents vary by language/publisher).
A division voiced with orchestral-imitative stops. Abbreviated “Orch.” in English scores (equivalents vary by language/publisher).
A physically separated division, often at the rear of the hall. Abbreviated “Ant.” in English scores (equivalents vary by language/publisher).
A softly-voiced division for distant/echo effects. Abbreviated “Echo” in English scores (equivalents vary by language/publisher).
A bright, chorus-voiced division, often unenclosed. Abbreviated “Pos.” in English scores (equivalents vary by language/publisher).
