Trumpet Tablature is a rather rare form of music notation that applies to all brass instruments, but is most commonly found written for trumpet. It consists of lines with partials, and numbers representing valve or slide positions.

Examples

The base setup is shown here, with P for pedal

Pedal

The word pedal comes from the Latin and relates to the foot.A pedal is a lever activated by one's foot. The term "foot pedal" is redundant, and should be avoided...

 and names of open notes. As well as counting on the top. Low range is shown by lowercase letters, middle range by capital letters, and high, double high etc. ranges by subscript. This method is impractical in the altissimo

Altissimo

Altissimo refers to the uppermost register on woodwind instruments. For clarinets, which overblow on odd harmonics, the altissimo notes are those based on the fifth, seventh, and higher harmonics. For other woodwinds, the altissimo notes are those based on the third, fourth, and higher harmonics...

 range however, because of fingering differences between horns.

Numbers are used to represent fingerings. For trumpet you may see true fingerings (chromatically down from 0, 2, 1, 1/2, 2/3, 1/3, 1/2/3) but more commonly with positions. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) 1 is open and 7 is 1/2/3. Trombone tablature will always have slide positions. Here is an example of a two octave C major scale:

1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a 1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a

Four valve instruments are more complicates, as well as tenor trombones with F attachments and bass trombones. Four valve instruments use:

Tab number|fingering|played on trombone w/F attachment|note if played on C partial (treble clef Bb)|
1 0 1 C
2 2 2 B
3 1 3 Bb
4 12 4 A
5 23 5 Ab
6 4 F1 G
7 24 F2 Gb
8 14 F3 F
9 124 F4 E
(10) 234 F5 Eb
(11) 134 F6 D
(12) 1234 F7 Db

Positions 10 11 and 12 are in parentheses so they do not appear as two separate notes.

Some other symbols include:

1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a
