Score Notation Reference

A complete reference for the Roneat Studio Pro text notation system.

Roneat Studio Pro uses a simple text-based notation system.

Scores are written as space-separated tokens in the Notes text box.

Each token represents one event: a note, a rest, a tremolo, or a bar line.

Overview

Use this page as the quick reference for writing and reading scores.

If you are new to the editor, start with Interface Overview.

Token Types

Token	Meaning	Example
9	Play bar 9 for 1 beat	9
9#	Play bar 9 as tremolo with the default repeat behavior	9#
9#3	Play bar 9 as tremolo with 3 rapid strikes	9#3
-	Rest for 1 beat	-
0	Rest alias	0
x	Rest alias	x
/	Visual bar line only	/

Tokens are separated by spaces.

9 8 7 / 6 - 5 is valid.

987/6-5 is not.

Bar Numbers

The Roneat Ek has 21 bars.

Bar 1 is the highest pitch.

Bar 21 is the lowest pitch.

Valid note numbers are 1 through 21.

Any numeric note token outside this range is flagged as invalid.

Bar	Default Frequency (Hz)
1	1308
2	1174
3	1064
4	977
5	884
6	791
7	720
8	655
9	589
10	536
11	490
12	444
13	399
14	359

Two-Mallet (Left Hand) Notation

When Left Hand mode is enabled in the Score Editor, the app computes the second hand automatically.

You do not write the left hand manually.

The app adds bar +7 during playback and preview.

Example:

• Right hand 9

• Left hand 16

This is useful for fast review and teaching playback.

Tremolo Notation

Use # to mark tremolo.

Examples:

• 9# — Tremolo on bar 9

• 9#3 — Tremolo on bar 9 with 3 rapid strikes

• 9#8 — Tremolo on bar 9 with 8 rapid strikes

The number after # controls the strike count.

If no number is given, the default repeat behavior is used.

Playback speed is controlled by Hits per second in Settings Overview.

Rests and Silence

Use -, 0, or x for silence.

Each rest token occupies 1 beat.

Choose one style and stay consistent within a score.

Bar Lines

Use / to insert a visual divider.

This helps readability in the live preview and exported PDF.

/ does not add time or affect playback.

In PDF export, you can place bar lines manually with / or let the app group beats automatically.

Example Score

9 8 7 6 / 5 4 3 2 / 1 - - - /
9# 8 7 6#3 / 5 4 - 3 /

In this example:

• 9 8 7 6 plays four descending bars

• / inserts a visual divider

• 1 - - - plays bar 1, then three beats of silence

• 9# plays a tremolo on bar 9

• 6#3 plays bar 6 with 3 rapid strikes

• - inserts a one-beat rest

Validation

The Score Editor validates notation in real time.

Invalid tokens are shown in the validation panel.

Common issues:

• Bar number out of range, such as 25

• Invalid tremolo repeat count outside 1 to 32

• Unrecognized tokens, such as 9a

• Missing spaces between tokens

0 is valid only as a standalone rest token.

Use numbers 1 through 21 for notes.
