譜面|ふめんfumen[0]heiban (flat)

1. nounsheet music; score

• Synonym楽譜がくふNeutralMeans the score itself — the notation of a piece — where 「譜面」 stresses the sheet of paper it is written on; the two are close in register.
• Synonym譜ふWrittenWritten-style single character for a score; it also means a family genealogy or a record of a go or shogi game, so it carries several senses.
• RelatedシートミュージックNeutralA loanword for the sheet music of a single piece; used only rarely — in everyday speech 「楽譜」 is the word to reach for.

For the sheet of paper the score is written on, use 「譜面」 — as in 「譜面台」 or 「譜面を見る」; for the score itself say 「楽譜」. The single character 「譜」 also means a score but is written-style and can also mean a genealogy or game record.
