NOTEMAKER

by Roger Frost

from Sinclair User #16 (July 1983)



Programs which arrive in the Sinclair User office often contain tunes

which, the accompanying letters tell us, were picked out at length on a

musical instrument to the great distress of the programmer's family.

Notemaker should put an end to that situation, by making it easy to

write tunes for the Spectrum in the key of C.



A stave is displayed on the screen on which notes can be placed in the

standard way. The tune thus composed can be played back and re-written

until correct. By pressing "p" the notes used can then be listed as their

BEEP values.



The program was written for the 16K Spectrum by Roger Frost of north

London. Letters to be entered in graphics mode are underlined.
