Hi
Im working on a project that i will need a few lines that will create a few bars of a tune to be output from my nano, the bit im having dificulty with is converting the music (sheet form) into letters ie. C#, B, Aflat etc to insert in my line . If anyone has a link to a site that might help that would be a start.
Many thanks
Only just starting out on this journey learning C++
Old dog learning new tricks .......late
The question is unclear: are you looking for an "Optical Music Recognition software" ?
I believe he wants to learn how to read the musical staff.
This may help getting you started.
This attempts to explain sharps and flats
2112 is quite correct, i am looking to put just a few bars of a tune into the startup section of a sketch i am trying to produce, i have found a file i need namely " pitches.h" so im half way there its just extracting the appropriate notes from the sheet music for the tune and converting into the letters/notelength to add to the coding. Two factors here 1: i am not a musician and 2: ive only just started to attempt to learn C++ coding so be gentle with me ....lol
Thanks
Thanks , ill have to sit down and do it " old school " with a pad and pen and transcribe the notes and lengths by hand . I had wondered if there was a site or app that might have saved me time. Thanks for the links they will be handy , i was just about to "google" the same key words , YouTube is always your best friend...eh ? Many thanks .
I will add that this is a new venture for me at 66 starting to learn to programme .......why ? Because a: its out there and b: because i can lol
Ive always been the same , wont let anything beat me .....lol
If you find a MIDI version of your song (which one?), it might be easier to extract the information than trying to decipher a music score if you can't read music.
keep all of them, the unused ones won't take up any memory (they are just #define)
keep this file pitches.h (source)

Hi i will look , i already have "pitches.h" i found that , will look for the midi file , the song im looking to replicate is just the main chorus of " Rule Britannia " i will change a few notes to avoid copyright obviously but retain the theme.
Thanks
This is unnecessary since the song is from 1740 and thus in the public domain.
Oh Ok thanks
Every day is a school day
"Friends don't let friends skip school day."
"Every day is school day."
Words to live by.
I gave it a quick try
The melody is probably far from being correct but may be it does the job?
