CONT

Contrairement à la notation d'un instrument mélodique, où chaque ligne et interligne représente une note précise, chacune des lignes et interlignes de la clef de percussion est assignée à un instrument qui compose l'ensemble des percussions sur laquelle on doit frapper. Comme il existe une grande variété de percussions, une légende accompagne généralement la partition.
