Music Composition

General Information

Have you ever wanted to start a band but think maybe it’s a little pointless because all the other musicians are playing the same thing as you?

Well, that’s not a problem here on Angel Island! Using the [play command, you can play singular notes and pauses to compose your own music.

There are 25 possible note values:

• cl (low C)

• csl (low C#)

• d (D)

• ds (D#)

• e (E)

• f (F)

• fs (F#)

• g (G)

• gs (G#)
