Sheet Music
Angel Island is ever committed to thoughtfully producing quality content that doesn't interfere with classic gameplay. With that commitment in mind, our esteemed host Adam Ant is excited to introduce the Sheet Music system!
General Information
The Sheet Music system is unique to Angel Island and works in conjunction with our custom Music Composition system.
Alongside simplifying the composition process, Sheet Music allows entrepreneurial troubadours to sell their tunes to other musicians.
Instructions
Sheet Music:
- Purchase a MusicCompositionBook and ManuscriptPaper from a Bard NPC.
- Fill in the MusicCompositionBook with your razor formatted song + lyrics. Additionally, comments may be inserted without causing any issues.
- Double-click the ManuscriptPaper and target the book.
- The blank ManuscriptPaper is turned into RolledUpSheetMusic.
Result: "RolledUpSheetMusic" when double-clicked allows you to select an instrument of your choosing with which to play the tune. The composition book is the original source of the tune and remains in the composers possession for safekeeping.
Because it is not possible to further copy Sheet Music, this new system has added a completely new market to the economy on Angel Island!
Note that playing RolledUpSheetMusic is still subject to the skill requirements of the music composition system.
Composition Book Info
Typing directly into books within Ultima Online is generally not recommended as the books have a tendency to break up lines etc.
An easy workaround, and indeed the recommended approach, is that players either type their compositions into a text editor of their choosing or create razor scripts and then copy/paste them directly into the composition book in the game.
NOTE* You do not need to fix any spacing or manually edit the book whatsoever after copy/pasting into it. The system is designed to straighten things out during the Sheet Music creation process.
Music Box
Music boxes play sheet music when locked down inside your house. They can play any instrument, and are purchasable from Bard NPC vendors.
