Reading your remarks I see that it may not be that useful after all. Which of the corresponding entries was right, or even the best? Short codes indeed spoil the matter. Well, don't put it too high on your to-do list, on second thoughts.

Oh, I see. I guess that could indeed be useful. And it's easy, too, so it goes onto my todo list.
So, it would not really count successful searches, but just how often an item shows up among, say, the top 10 (first page). This could also point to entries whose Parsons code is not distinctive enough. These are not entirely easy to identify since it depends on other entries how many characters are needed to make a Parsons Code reasonably distinctive. A piece that frequently makes it into the top ten items is either immensely popular, or its Parsons code is too short.

I meant a simple counter, but you are right that without some feedback about the relevance it would be rather rough. I did not mean it as a help for searchers, BTW, but more as a 'moral support' for those who make entries: they could see whether their work has helped someone. And it could be fun to have a "top ten of finds".
Well, such data would be extremely interesting. But it would require users to rate the found items as relevant or irrelevant, which I am afraid would be too much work for someone who just wants to solve his own search problem.
Or did I misunderstand you? Do you just mean how many times an entry is shown on the screen? That is easy to track, but would it be interesting?
Cheers,
Rainer

Would it be interesting to have a counter that shows how many times a particular entry has been "found" by visitor on the basis of the Parsons Code?

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.
