What are the two kinds of music scores?

Music scores can be divided into two categories: staff and notation.

The staff is a musical notation system, which uses five parallel lines and four intervals to represent pitch and rhythm. Staff is usually used in the scores of western classical music and modern pop music.

Simple notation is a simplified musical notation system, which uses numbers to represent pitch and rhythm. In China, notation is usually used in the scores of traditional music, folk music and popular songs. Compared with staff, notation is easier to learn and remember, so it is more popular with beginners.
