oh ok.

this song means so much to me. its so beautiful and its so aggravating not being able to find it. I remember being at a restaurant for my anniversary and it played like 5 times in a row on their background music in a bunch of different versions. torture not being able to name it.

after the pitch, you can enter the note duration (4 for quarter note, 8 for eigth note, 2 for half note or minim etc.). For example: c'16 is a sixteenth c in the first octave (crotchet or quaver? I always mix those up).

Rests are encoded with r instead of a note name, but otherwise in the same way.

For more details, see: http://www.musipedia.org/pu_lily0.0.html (or click on the "Lilypond" link below).

Good luck!

I keep editing the heck out of these notes :) I wish I could figure out how to make long notes and pauses, it would help.

hmm - this reminds my an awful lot of the former "German Democratic Republic"'s national anthem, but that was not at all wordless, so it's probably not it:

 
 search Musipedia for this

(if I remember correctly).
The words were something like "Auferstanden aus Ruinen und der Zukunft zugewandt".
Someone else will probably have to find out what you really mean.

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.
