The applet now has a search button, finally. The more advanced search options can be filled in after searching for the melody (at the bottom of the result screen), in case the melody alone was not enough.

Let me address the second thing first: Why not just add additional entries? In the "classical" collection, there are already lots of entries for the same work, but different movements and different themes in movements.
The alternative of adding another field for an alternate code has the disadvantage that you never need the same number of alternate codes.
A third possibility would be two tables: one for the work (with lyrics etc.) and one for the theme (only Parsons Code and sheet music).
What do you think about these three possibilities?
About the applet:
Yes, I agree that the applet needs to be improved. It needs:
- a "search" button so that the search can be initiated immediately from the applet
- all other fields (category, text/phrases) so that a complete search request can be formulated.
This is on my to do list, however, not with the highest priority since I had the impression that the applet is only useful as an illustration anyways. At least with the current recognition accuracy, you will frequently have to correct the Parsons Code anyways. Which brings me to something else that I have planned:
- improve the tune recognition accuracy by better analyzing the FFT spectra (find the fundamental frequency by looking at groups of peaks, not just the highest peak).

This is a really cool consept, but i think that there are a couple of things that need to be fixed. For a start, i think that you need to be able to copy and paste from the recorder. It is a real pain to have to scroll sown each time to write down the code...
Also, it would be nice to have more than one code for each song, for example one for the beginninng of the song (whats done) and maybe one for the corus...
Well, just my 2 cents...

How to insert music:
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.
How to post an audio recording:
If you just want to sing, whistle, or play a melody so that other forum visitors can hear it, follow these steps:
- Record your audio here.
- You should notice a 32-character hash code, something like: 2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf
- copy this hash code and paste it into a forum post, enclosed in the audio tags, for example: [audio]2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf[/audio]
How to mark a thread as solved:
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.
