For an explanation of color notation

Conventional staff notation is universal (language-independent). Every country uses the same staff, the same clefs, and the same sharp and flat signs. But music terminology isn't. Spanish has not D♯ and minor 7th, but Re sostenido and séptima menor.
[[Kite's color notation|Color]] notation, [[Ups and Downs Notation|Ups and Downs]] notation, and [[Pergen|Pergens]] notation can all be translated into other languages. Conventional staff notation is universal (language-independent). Every country uses the same staff, the same clefs, and the same sharp and flat signs. But music terminology isn't. Spanish has not D♯ and minor 7th, but Re sostenido and séptima menor.


Color notation must also be universal. Many terms can be translated into other languages, but a few terms can't be. Just as one must learn a few Italian words like allegro and andante to read sheet music, one must learn a few English words to read color notation. Fortunately, the full word needn't be learned, just the first letter.
