Staff symbols are musical notations used by composers and musicians to indicate the pitch, duration, and dynamics of a piece of music. QRESTS, CLEFS, RESTS, NOTES, CCLEFS, and SHARPS are all staff symbols. QRESTS is a six-letter symbol that indicates a quarter rest, which is a pause in the music for one beat. CLEFS is a five-letter symbol that indicates the pitch of the NOTES on the staff. RESTS is also a five-letter symbol that indicates a rest, which is a pause in the music for a specified length of time. NOTES is a five-letter symbol that indicates the pitch of the NOTES on the staff. CCLEFS is a six-letter symbol that indicates a clef change, which is a change in the pitch of the NOTES on the staff. Finally, SHARPS is a six-letter symbol that indicates a sharp, which is a symbol that raises the pitch of a note by one half step.
