C. The relationship between the "Great staff" and the "Complete staff" of the Hexagram

Illustration: Modifying the clefs but not the rules, the method of the "Great staff" can be applied to the "Complete staff", as in figures 8, 9, 10, and 11:

Figure 8) Connection of the clefs in the treble register

Figure 9) Connection of the clefs in the bass register

Figure 10) Connection of the clefs in the extended register

Figure 11) Connection of the clefs in the crossed register

Demonstration: Two different sets of six lines include four different sets of six lines; four different sets of six lines read like a single uniform set of six lines — precisely as, on the Pentagram the combination of the three lower lines of the "Treble staff" with the three upper lines of the "Bass staff".

Conclusion: The range of notation has been completed, the addition of ledger lines is reduced or avoided; the reading of the notes has been unified, the rules simplified. The structure of two levels grouped together in the single form of the "Great staff" can be applied to the system of all the ranges of the "Complete staff", including the piano, organ, harmonium, harp, celesta, xylophone, bells, guitar, etc., or to the compressed full score.
