Scope Note: The musical notation within a music score specific to a particular instrument. Such instrument parts may either be represented together in a single score, by stave one below the other, or else as separate parts, one for each instrument. Not to be confused with the looser usage of the term as applied to specific parts of the music for an instrument, for example the treble and the bass parts for the piano.
