"cifrado" y "partitura"
Spanish to English

Musical terms
The phrase goes like this:
"Convertir el cifrado en tumbao desde una partitura."
The illustration of the "cifrado" shows a very basic piano score with half-notes (blancas) written only for the left hand, and the note names written above each note (C, F, G, F)
Below the "cifrado" is the actual score, written for both hands and with full chords.
So, if the "partitura" is "score", what is the English (US) word for "cifrado"? I probably know the word, but have not been able to find a translation for the musical "cifrado" in any of my dictionaries.
Thanks for your help

Spanish term (edited):
cifrado - partitura
key signature - score
La tercer oración "Below the "cifrado"" da a entender que "cifrado" es el cifrado tonal (key signature) expresado en letras y números sobre la partitura.
La segunda oración parece referirse al cifrado tonal expresado en la partitura como bemoles o sostenidos, a la derecha de la clave.

If you\'re talking about the conga, I\'d say that \"cifrado\" means \"strokes\" http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=conga drum...
If it\'s for piano or guitar or a wind instrument, I\'d say \"fingering\": http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=score fing...

After seeing your questions, I wonder if what you are describing is what is called a \"lead sheet\" -- a sheet of just the main notes of a piece of music and from which a pianist or other musician improvises. If I understand correctly, the objective is to create a lead sheet from a full score. Just an idea since it seems that the traditional meanings aren\'t working. See http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=lang_en&ie=UTF-8&as_qd...

As you will see from the link above, the \"lead sheet\" is also a teaching device and contains not just lead notes but lead chords. Since what happens in the bass determines what happens in the piece, it is possible that the sheet could show only the left hand.

I think I may have muddied my own explanation by referring to the bass. There are bass lead sheets but the clef really doesn\'t matter. The point is that it\'s bare bones. This link contains a description of the process I think is described in your text. It happens that this author\'s example focuses on the treble clef, but you don\'t say what clef the left hand is in, so perhaps this example works. http://members.dancris.com/~bfraser/etc/DomainRules.html

If this suits your context, CIFRADO Y PARTITURA then mean LEAD SHEET AND SCORE.

: No creo que se refiera a "fingering", porque entonces no aparecerían las notas encima, sino los números de los dedos.

Plain old "figured" does not sound like a noun to me.
See the phrase again:
Convertir el cifrado en tumbao desde una partitura
Turn the _________into a tumbao starting from a score
