Subject: RE: Tune Req: 'Arkansas' (from 'Big River') From: jimmyt Date: 26 Sep 03 - 10:34 PM key of c : e gg, a ff, defgfee, gggggff, agbdedcc 884,884,8888884, 888888888888884 as you can see, I have no damn idea how to get this concept across, but the word Ar-kan-sas is E-G-G. etc to a rhythm consisting of 2 eighth notes followed by a quarter note, etc the rest should pretty much fall in to place but those are the notes and the approxomate rhythm if you can follow my troglydite logic jimmyt |
Subject: RE: Tune Req: 'Arkansas' (from 'Big River') From: jimmyt Date: 28 Sep 03 - 08:41 PM refresh anyone want to show me a better way of writing out music on a regular keyboard? I was intrigued at how difficult this is even when the tune is so simple and straightforward. just curious |
Subject: RE: Tune Req: 'Arkansas' (from 'Big River') From: Mary in Kentucky Date: 28 Sep 03 - 09:22 PM Jimmy, I've been learning ABC notation. Since I can read music pretty well it's fairly easy for me to write an ABC notation file just from looking at the sheet music. Then I put it in the ABC Convertamatic form at Concertina.net, here. Hit submit and go to a page that prints out what I've written and has a midi link to listen to the midi of it. Try it. If you want to learn ABC notation, search on the net for a site that you feel comfortable with. Here's the ABC for your tune.......maybe.....check to see if it's right. I used a little judgment to make 4 beats to each measure. X:1 T:Arkansas M:4/4 L:1/4 K:C E/E/GA/F/F | D/E/F/G/G/E/E | G/G/G/G/G/G/F | A/G/B/D/E/D/C | w:Ar-kan-sas, Ar-kan-sas |
Subject: RE: Tune Req: 'Arkansas' (from 'Big River') From: Mary in Kentucky Date: 28 Sep 03 - 09:25 PM oops...the link should be the first page, here. http://www.concertina.net/tunes_convert.html |

I will sort out the website, thanks for the info as I have written it here, the comma after a letter indicated 2 peats instead of one, I am sure there is a way in this concertina site to simplify it fdr me. |
