Sandbox:Duthco

One day, this will be a nice wiki page detailing our music system for people and providing our very own songbook, as well as a template for adding to it.
This page is very much not in its final form, and much is in note-taking and placeholder formats and tone that will change as the project progresses.

Song editor

The Help Section of the Song Editor displays the following information:

(current tick-lag 0.25)

Lines are a series of chords, separated by commas (,), each with notes separated by hyphens (-). Every note in a chord will play together, with chord timed by the tempo.

Notes are played by the names of the note, and optionally, the accidental, and/or the octave number. By default, every note is natural and in octave 3. Defining otherwise is remembered for each note. Example: C,D,E,F,G,A,B will play a C major scale. After a note has an accidental placed, it will be remembered: C,C4,C,C3 is C3,C4,C4,C3 Chords can be played simply by separating each note with a hyphen: A-C#,Cn-E,E-G#,Gn-B A pause may be denoted by an empty chord: C,E,,C,G To make a chord be a different time, end it with /x, where the chord length will be length defined by tempo / x: C,G/2,E/4 Combined, an example is: E-E4/4,F#/2,G#/8,B/8,E3-E4/4 Lines may be up to 50 characters. A song may only contain up to 200 lines.

Tips

• Default note length is the quarter-note
• Default tempo is 120 BPM

• BPM Options

• <17

• The lowest BPMs take multiple clicks to change the display number. (I think it means it is decreasing by non-integer increments.)

• ...
• 120
• ...
• 4800

• True Middle C is an octave higher than our local C4. Songs in the songbook are not necessarily adjusted to accommodate this. Consider using the transpose tool in the instrument menu to try different octaves. Some songs work well in multiple octaves.
• Commas close chords and separate singleton notes, but the end of a line does not require a comma. It will instead play a rest before beginning the next line.
