As an experiment, I have added to HARMONY (But not yet released) the ability to convert tunes, including abc files, to mobile phone ring tones. This works by displaying the sequence of keys to press in the COMPOSER function of my phone.

I have two questions

1: Is this something which would be useful to keep in the program for general use

2: Do different phones use the same system as my Nokia for encoding notes from the keypad?

( 1=C, 2=D etc, 8 = shorter note, 9=longer, * = octave, # = sharp)

A tune then looks like this: 6*9 588 3 2 1 29 2 6 68 7 (Spaces just shown to separate notes for clarity)
