music notation


Explanation:
MUSIC NOTATION is a system of writing for music. The term sheet music is used for written music to distinguish from audio recordings. In sheet music for ensembles, a score shows music for all players together, while parts contain only the music played by an individual musician. A score can be constructed (laboriously) from a complete set of parts and vice versa.

graphic notation


Explanation:
Graphic notation (also: musicogram[me]) is used:
1. instead of a conventional score in experimental/avant-garde music as of 1960 app. (cf. Robert Moran: Four Visions, 1963)
2. as a means of productive music reception in music classes

“EL MUSICOGRAMA = una representación de los elementos que intervienen en una obra musical (ritmo, frases, timbres, compases,..) Una obra musical con grafías no convencionales musicalmente hablando. Su fin último es el de reflejar la mayor cantidad de elementos. Podríamos decir que es una alternativa a la partitura convencional, no la sustituye, sino que la completa.”
http://perso.wanadoo.es/nachogrosso/musicograma.htm
“Musical graphic notation is a form of music notation which refers to the use of non-traditional symbols and text to convey information about the performance of a piece of music. It is used for experimental music, which in many cases is difficult to notate using standard notation.”
