What is a "stave"?
A stave is a set of five horizontal lines used in musical notation to represent different pitches. Notes are placed on or between these lines to indicate their pitch, with the position of each note showing its height in the musical scale. The stave helps musicians read and interpret the music by providing a visual framework for the notes and symbols used in a piece.
Example
The composer wrote the melody on the treble stave, while the bass stave carried the accompanying harmonies.
Each stave in the score represents a different instrument or vocal part in the ensemble.
