Music Composition

Want to start a band but think it’s a little pointless since all the other musicians are playing the same thing as you? Well, that’s not a problem here. Here, 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)

Some sample tunes:

[play gh 0.1 ah 0.1 gh 0.1 fh 0.1 eh 0.3 c 0.4 c 0.3 g 0.3 c 1.0 c 0.3 g 0.3 c

Pop Goes the Weasel:

[play d 0.2 g 0.6 g 0.2 a 0.6 a 0.2 b 0.2 dh 0.2 b 0.2 g 0.6

[play d 0.2 g 0.6 g 0.2 a 0.6 c 0.2 b 0.8 g 0.6

[play d 0.2 g 0.6 g 0.2 a 0.6 a 0.2 b 0.2 dh 0.2 b 0.2 g 0.8

[play eh 0.8 a 0.4 c 0.2 b 0.8 g

You need at least 80.0 to use [play, but anything under GM and you will suffer a chance to play incorrect notes.
