_2010-01_Benutzerhandbuch.pdf (application/pdf-Objekt) Scientific pitch notation. Ten Cs in scientific pitch notation Scientific pitch notation is a logarithmic frequency scale. Scientific pitch notation is an example of a note-octave notation (see below). Octave number[edit] The octave number increases by 1 upon an ascension from B to C (and not from G to A, as one might expect).
Thus "A4" refers to the first A above C4 (middle C). As another example, in ascending the white keys on a keyboard, C4 immediately follows B3, as in the following sequence: "C3 D3 E3 F3 G3 A3 B3 C4 D4" Usage[edit] Scientific pitch notation is often used to specify the range of an instrument.
The conventional octave naming system — where for example C0 is written as ′′C, or C, or CCC in Helmholtz pitch notation, or referred to as subcontra C, and where C4 is written as c′ or one-lined C — applies to the written notes that may or may not be transposed. Similar systems[edit] Notation that appears to be scientific pitch notation may actually be based on an alternative octave numbering. See also[edit] Music Encoding Initiative.
