Abstract: The present invention permits linear slide motion as well as rotational motion between two sheets or panels of metal. This linear rail system utilizes clinching end stays to hold a loop of wire taut in a milled or stamped slot in a sheet metal panel. The loop of wire is stretched in the milled slot, being wrapped through the undercuts of the clinching end stays. When the stays are pressed into the milled slot with the wire in place, the wire is locked in due to the cold flow of metal around it. The taut spring wire captivates a round follower with flanges above and below the wire runs. The follower is then free to move linearly and rotate in the panel. This follower is self-clinching and can attach a second sheet to the assembly by pressing a hole in the second sheet onto the follower.

The visual representation corresponds to the structure of the music as heard, where simultaneous harmonic events are parsed into individual notes which are then tied together into a rhythmic stream of linked events.

Abstract: A music notation display system that adds distinguishable timing bars to standard music notation assists students learning to read music and assists musicians to correctly play rhythms in music. Each timing bar corresponds to an equally timed portion of a measure of written music, such as a certain number of beats or half-beats. The timing bars may be depicted as differently shaded, patterned, or otherwise differentiated background areas to the notes and rests of the music. Musical notes and rests that fall within a timed portion of the music that corresponds to a timing bar are displayed within a space defined by the timing bar. The widths of timing bars across a musical staff may be equal, or may vary, such as to accommodate printing associated lyrics of different lengths or to comfortably fit in the notes of the timed portion. Embodiments of the system are usable with various music notation systems, such as Braille and/or computer-implemented music notation systems.
