So why is one time signature chosen rather than another? The composer will normally choose a time signature that makes the music easy to read and also easy to count and conduct. The music in each of these staves should sound exactly alike. This rule is especially important when the two parts cross otherwise there is no way for the performers to know that the "low" part should be reading the high note at that spot. If they do not, the stems for one part (the "high" part or "first" part) will point up and the stems for the other part will point down. Two parts for different performers written on the same staff - If the parts have the same rhythm, they may be written as block chords. Notes sharing a beam - Again, generally you will want to use the stem direction of the note farthest from the center of the staff, to keep the beam near the staff.ĭifferent rhythms being played at the same time by the same player - Clarity requires that you write one rhythm with stems up and the other stems down.
Notes sharing a stem (block chords) - Generally, the stem direction will be the direction for the note that is furthest away from the middle line of the staff Notes on or above the middle line should be stem down.
