"neutral clef"の定義と意味

What is a "neutral clef"?

A neutral clef is a musical symbol used to indicate that the notes written on the staff are not associated with a specific pitch. Instead, it represents rhythmic values without specifying exact pitches, often used for percussion instruments or other rhythm-based parts. The neutral clef is depicted as a simple line or a series of horizontal lines without any additional symbols, providing a framework for notating rhythms and beat patterns where pitch is not a concern. This clef helps musicians read and perform rhythmic sections accurately in music.
