It took her a few times playing through it before she recognized the tune...

How do I improve the sound of a 30 note music box? Does the type of wood that I will be using plays a big part on improving sound or not? Because I am considering finding a plastic box that can fit the 30 note music box

So, I have a melody called Can't Help It - Anarbor that says it was published on 1/31/19, which it was, but it doesn't show up at the top of my melodies where the latest melodies go. Rather, it sorts itself somewhere in the middle of June when I sort my melodies by "latest". I'm guessing this is a bug?

Hi,

This is a very newbie question, so apologies up front. I'm working with a very long, uncut roll of music for a 30-note player, and I'm wondering if there's a safe, easy way to remove a bit of roll without cycling through the whole thing. Basically, I want to test out the notes at the front, but then remove it without having to churn through all the blank material. Is there a release catch I'm missing?

Thanks so much,
Abe

I have some musical background, however, I have never composed music (apart of some riffs and chords on the guitar, and some rhythms on drums).

I have already done some research on Wikipedia and the like. However, I have not (yet) found any specific information regarding the music box and since they are multiple music boxes even on this site, it only confuses me more.

In the following, I try to summarize my questions regarding the GI30. However, answers for other music boxes are welcome as well.

My questions are:
What scales are possible on the music box? ( I have read it is "mostly chromatic" which I would interpret as if it can play most of the scales )
What is the temperament of the music box? ( I assumed it is equal tempered, but I have found no information confirming this )
What is the maximal tempo in bpm, that two notes can be played consecutively ( The creator on this website marks them as red, but how does it decide? )

it will be good if mm-inch option on export options or on settings page...

Hello everyone, I have two 30 notes mechanisms with one broken gear near the crank, and I will love to know how to fix it, I've tried with epoxy plasteline, recreating a gear but it doesn´t work, take in consideration that by the moment, I don´t have money for doing a 3d printed recreation or a metal gear, please nothing expensive, I will be greatful if someone help me :)

Hi! I now bought my second 30-note music box due to the first one being out of tune, and it appears the second one is out of tune as well! I created a melody using this website and when I transfer the notes onto my music box tape, it sounds completely different than what’s on the website. Any suggestions? Maybe I’m doing something wrong, thanks!

I just unboxed my 30 note music box and I wrote a simple song, but when I played it through the first time, one of the notes didn't play. I then used a paper clip to see if I had incorrectly punched the hole, but it did play. I started to see if this was the case for all of the notes and I found that the note just a half step above is the same pitch as the one that couldn't play. I don't know how to fix this problem. I don't have a screwdriver to get it out of the box.

I'm not a very creative person, but I'd like to make a theme song for a friend's character as a gift. How do I do this? Thanks guys.
