Talk:Keyboard tablature

example scale

I have changed the A# in the example scale to a Bb (technically proper name). However, I'm not completely sure if that would be correct for tablature, and maybe no flats are used in keyboard tabs. If this is the case, go ahead and change it back. -98.243.90.242 (talk) 06:04, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DecPlay Method

I would like to add a brief explanation of the DecPlay piano tabs layout - I assume I shouldn't uplaod any images which are covered by the patent, so suggest only uploading an image that shows the layout of the left and right hand numbers on the keyboard. The 'insert' upload facility refuses to allow me to upload any images - I have only been registered on Wiki for 2 days - do I have to pwait 4 days?

The method is one of very few piano tabs methods to be awarded a US patent and is significantly different from the methods shown on the current page, as it combines individual notes, with chords in a single songsheet as is based on 'relative' not 'absolute' pitch. I suggest adding the following text to explain the method:-

The top line shows the lyrics of the song, the middle line shows the right hand piano note numbers and the bottom line (in the shaded box) shows the left hand chords, which are 3 notes played simultaneously or in sequence, depending on the playing style being used. In the ‘Standard’ level of DecPlay these 3 notes in a chord are played together, in Advanced levels, they are played in sequence and in ProPlay level the order order of these notes can be changed.
