Abstract

This study examined how visual elements that represent pitch and rhythm in musical score influence score perception. Music experts and non-experts were presented with two musical scores successively at 80ms or 2000ms. Scores contained only pitch information (pitch condition) or both pitch and rhythm information (rhythm condition). Participants judged whether the two scores were same or different. Response latency was slower when scores were more complicated with the notation of rhythm, than when only pitch was notated. There was a difference between the experts and the non-experts when the score was presented for 2000 ms. When the score was presented for a sufficient amount of time, the experts were able to process the score with rhythm more accurately than the non-experts. This result suggests that music experts can process rhythm information more efficiently to lead to better perception of musical notation.
