The system of notation for the basso continuo is called?

Figured bass. The line isn't written note for note. Instead chord symbols and numbers are placed above a staff containing minimal notation. Such as G6 D C6/4 ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- -------------------------------------

Can you use a semibreve or whole note in a 2 4 time signature?

Ideally, a 2/4 time signature means two beats to the measure, and the quarternote gets one beat. That means that a half-note is the longest you could use, as any larger duration note exceeds what a measure can hold. However, there are certain kinds of notation which attempt to simplify reading, and others which are based on older notation systems, and even some experimental notation systems which allow placing a note which is the length of duration, and leaving empty measures or portions of measures until the next note starts. A caveat goes with using non-standard notation systems for modern-day musicians: few are interested in dealing with any notation system which acts purely for the benefit of the composer/arranger. Some notation systems complicate reading without providing any real benefit at all (such as tying a note across a bar line to a dot, instead of to a note of half the duration of the first note). The purpose of notation should be to get the composer's intentions across to the performer. It is rare that a departure from the system known well by performers is accepted and used beyond the life of the originator... and who wants to write unforgettable music, then clothe it with a notation system that is doomed to be forgotten? A small historical note: The idea of the measure, delineated by bar-lines and constrained between them with a strict count of beats, is relatively new. It has evolved from a system (in steps) which relied on mensural signs which included symbols (whole or broken circle, slashes and dots) from which only two have survived, C and slashed-C. The point between the original neumatic notation and our current notation system that is most accessable to modern musicians is probably the White Mensural Notation system that was popular between approximately 1450 and 1530. In this system, vertical lines were used for division of large sections or small sections, but not division of equally-counted measures. If you are, or become, really interested in why music notation looks like it does, find Wily Apel's "Notation of Polyphonic Music, 900-1600" (ISBN-10: 1849028052, ISBN-13: 978-1849028059).


What are the lines and spaces names of so-fa syllables?

It depends... The lines and spaces are used for musical notation which is pitch and key specific. Solfege (or sol-fa) is a more general system that does not directly apply to the notes on the staff. Solfege refers to notes from their position in the scale, but it is not key specific. Once you determine what key you want the piece to be in - then you could translate it into standard notation on a staff. However, if you keep everything in C Major (the simplest key) then "Do" would be on middle C, one ledger line below the treble staff. It would also be in the second space from the top, one octave higher. From there every line, space, line, space movement up goes up through the solfege syllables: do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do.

Why is notation called scientific notation?

A notation is a system of written symbols used to represent numbers, amounts, or elements in something such as music or math. So scientific notation is the system used by scientists to simplify large numbers. And there isn't just scientific notation there's also stuff like electrical notation or musical notation. Hope this helps!
