Default Re: OT: An odd little question

The "code" for making music is already done, it's just a matter of getting some music and converting all the notes into the required hex values and setting the tempo and so forth. I was just hoping there existed somewhere instructions that had the conversions already done & the tempos figured out, since I am not a musically inclined person in the least.

The other issue of course, is that the way programs are entered into the board, if you put in a song and then realize, "Oh, most of the places I have AA, I should have AAA", then you have to recode everything after the first AA, since there's no support for inserting new code in between existing code. And considering a 3 verse melody involves about 4 typed pages of code, that's a lot of recoding to get everything right.

And to top it all off, our prof reduced the value of the assignment from 10% to 5%, so now it will have less a 1% effect on my overall average across all my courses, whereas I have finals next week that are each worth more than 10% of my overall average, so I'm looking to spend as little time on this as possible.
