Hi there,


 
 search Musipedia for this

I don't know if I entered it incorrectly (first time user) or the melody is genuinely not there. It sounds fine. Not sure about the key, does it matter?
Could you please help?

Thanks. :)

The new search algorithm can now handle this problem. You don't even have to enter the whole query.
This is how it works:
- go to the main page (temporary URL: http://new.musipedia.org, will be http://www.musipedia.org in a day or so)
- enter the query, either in Lilypond syntax or by clicking on the keyboard (in this case, you need to edit the Lilypond text because there are no sixteenth notes on the keyboard). Here: dis'4 f'8 g'8. gis'16 g'8 f'4 d'8 ais8. c'16 d'8
- Hit the search button.
And the piece you are looking for is the first match that shows up:
http://www.musipedia.org/directory/lily+dis'4+f'8+g'8.+gis'16+g'8+f'4+d'8+ais8.+c'16+d'8
I didn't know that Busoni used this, too, but now I know...

The key does not matter, and nor does the duration of the notes as long as the overall rhythm is okay (in other words, the search is transposition-invariant and augmentation-invariant).

If you enter more notes, it will take more time, but you'll get more similar melodies (if they are there).

Wow, thanks!
I probably entered one of the apparently many variations/interpretations of this song. Perhaps the fact that my search failed could be an interesting test case for the developers.

Cheers

This is "Greensleeves" (see http://www.musipedia.org/edit.0.html?&no_cache=1&tx_detedit_pi1[tid]=04a0f17ab29f8724e9bfd0d282c8df06)

You must login to post a message to this conference.

Add a bit of sheet music, along with a MIDI file, simply by entering note names in Lilypond syntax between the [L] and [/L] tags.
For example, you can try what happens if you enter: [l]g'4 g'4 d''4 d''4 e''4 e''4 d''2[/l] (use the Preview function if you don't actually want to post this).
You can create these lists of note names by clicking on piano keys here.

If you just want to sing, whistle, or play a melody so that other forum visitors can hear it, follow these steps:

1. Record your audio here.
2. You should notice a 32-character hash code, something like: 2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf
3. copy this hash code and paste it into a forum post, enclosed in the audio tags, for example: [audio]2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf[/audio]

If the original question in a thread is solved, please mark it as solved using the "solved" icon (or by just typing [solved] into your post). This makes life easier for people who are willing to identify melodies, since unsolved problems are easier to spot that way. If a problem turns out to not be solved after all, just write [/solved] in a new post, and the thread will be labeled accordingly.
