Octaves and sheet music

Postby venatorvenator » Tue Sep 22, 2015 4:23 am

I take back what I said in Announcements about playing instruments with number keys.

Would it mess stuff up too much if you assigned one keyboard row for each octave? Like this:

3 qwertyui
2 asdfghj
1 zxcvbnm

And then Shift and Ctrl for flats etc?

Because it's hard to change octaves right now.

Another suggestion is the ability to record what we play in the form of a parchment, which could then be traded or replayed by anyone with the same instrument.
This has so much potential.

Or allow us to write sheet music in abc notation that could be "read" with an instrument.

I do have to agree, while the chosen octave is technically correct, for the purposes of playing an F to E octave would be more convenient
