Could you just e-mail me the file? Then I could see what goes wrong. The only thing I can think of without looking at the file is that there is a size limit (64 KB) for each uploaded file.

I don't know this piece, but I was curious about what the web search turns up:

http://www.musipedia.org/search.0.html?sourceid=melody-url&tx_mpsearch_pi1%5bsubmit_button%5d=Search&tx_mpsearch_pi1%5bpc%5d=lily+c''2+r8+d''8+a'8+c''8+f'4+r4+r4+a'8+c''8+dis''8+d''8+c''8+a'8+c''8+c''8+a'8+g'8+f'4+r4+r4+e'8+f'8+g'8+f'8&categories=CPFHA&filtertext=&coll=w

The first match actually sounds mildly similar, but I am not sure if it's really what you mean. It's called "HSCTT" (doesn't ring a bell for me):

I might still have to tweak the search algorithm a bit. I am sure your piece must be somewhere among the tens of thousands of MIDI files that are currently covered by the Musipedia web search...

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.
