Re: Colored scores for Rock bandconsisting of members with mental disablilities

[hallvard]

The colored box or Dissimilis notation works simply by pushing the key of the given color/number (or striking the string while holding the finger on the given color /number). The duration is not really part of the notation, but the bars indicate that the keyboards hold the notes for a given number of bars. I.e. the shortest notes last for a full bar (not sure bar is the correct term, but 4 beats in 4/4s). The bass always have half notes, thus twice as many "notes". The guitar has quarter notes thus 4times as many. 

It is actually more difficult to explain than to play. ;) 

Keyboard 1 does triad chords. Keyboard 2 only single notes (but in reality in 2 octaves, using both index fingers, keyboard 1 uses 3 fingers on his right hand). 

Hope that clarifies.

Hello again

I think it would be good to have colored/numbered notes for 2 reasons:

• The band members can learn normal note notation.
  
• Other musicians can substitute if needed.
  

But if possible it would be great to have the "all color" notation that we are using now.

(But that makes us more dependent on the "pointing assistants".)

    OK, that makes things clearer. As said, *the first* option is quite
    simple to achieve.
    Could you explain a bit more concretely how that "color box"
    notation works?
