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.

- e (E)
- f (F)
- fs (F#)
- g (G)
