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.

Usage: [play note|pause [note|pause] …

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#)

• a (A)

• as (A#)

• b (B)

• c (middle C)

• cs (C#)

• dh (high D)

• dsh (high D#)

• eh (high E)

• fh (high F)

• fsh (high F#)

• gh (high G)

• gsh (high G#)

• ah (high A)

• ash (high A#)

• bh (high B)

• ch (high C)

Incorrect Notes

You need at least 80.0 Musicianship to use [play

However, anything under GM and you will suffer a penalty where you have a chance to play notes incorrectly.

Sheet Music

Rolled up Sheet Music has been implemented to allow entrepreneurial troubadours to sell their music to other musicians.
