Chapter 19:Lead Sheets and Scores 255
The Least You Need to Know
◆Lead sheets present melody, chords, and lyrics.
◆Chord sheets are used to present chords only—and can use standard chord
notation or the simplified Nashville Number System of notation.
◆Choral scores include individual parts for soprano, alto, tenor, and bass;
plus piano accompaniment.
◆Band and orchestral scores include separate staves for each instrument—
and can be written in either concert or transposed keys.
◆The chore of creating written music can be made easier by computerized
music notation programs, such as Finale or Sibelius.
