If present, it will play a rest before beginning the next line.
	*~~Rests~~ ''only'' ~~scale~~ with the BPM~~-tempo~~ and ~~cannot be scaled~~ the same way ~~individual~~ notes/chords ~~are~~. So, if rests are paramount to the rhythm of ~~your piece, for example~~, consider adjusting the BPM and note and chord ~~durations~~ to ~~match~~.		*The duration of rests ''only'' scales with the BPM/Tempo and are not modified the same way as notes or chords. (You can play multiple rests back to back, (",,," is two rest intervals, for example), but you cannot shorten one's duration.) So, if rests are paramount to the rhythm of a composition, consider adjusting the overall BPM such that the base note, and therefore rest, is the duration of the shortest necessary rest for the piece.
			*Choosing a chord's duration modifier, (the 'x' of 'chord/x'), might be thought of in terms of "How many of the base note comprise the desired note length?"
			::For Example: given that I have my BPM set such that my unmodified notes are functionally eighth notes, (That is, chords ''without'' /x modifiers play for an eighth note's duration.), and I encounter a chord that needs to play for the duration of an eighth note ''plus'' a quarter note, that chord could be thought of as playing for the duration of three eighth notes, since 2 eighth notes = 1 quarter note. Therefore, the chord would need a duration modifier of ×3. However, since the modifier is a division operation and we know that x×3 = x÷⅓, we might write "chord/0.33" or "chord/0.333" to play for the desired duration. (You can include as many significant figures as you deem necessary, but it probably doesn't make much of a difference after two or three.)
	*Multiple of the same note in a chord plays the note louder than surrounding notes/chords, in a manner growing in intensity with each additional note. (e.g. "a-a" plays an A3 note louder than "a" would, and "a-a-a" plays A3 louder than the former.) Use this ''judiciously'' where you might find ''accent'' or ''marcato'' marks in sheet music.		*Multiple of the same note in a chord plays the note louder than surrounding notes/chords, in a manner growing in intensity with each additional note.

Duthco: Ongoing Personal Project: Documentation for our Music System and Share Adapted Music

Ongoing Personal Project: Documentation for our Music System and Share Adapted Music

New page

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. <br>
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.
