Hello, I am wondering. For the full range 60, why is there no C2 and C1 and etc, why’s the lowest one is C3?

Okay so, I have a 30 note music box. I have everything I need for it. I just don't know how to write in measures on the sheet music, like if its in 4/4,3/4,7/8, etc. Help?

I was attempting to transcribe clair de lune and discovered the editor will not accept 7 note chords. Not sure if it is web browser specific, but I am using Internet Explorer.

Request the forum's help on something I am occupied with and have no knowledge of.

This is regarding a musical clock which used to play 6 tunes. However, either the pinned cylinder was damaged and has been sanded in such a way that no trace of original pin positions remain or this cylinder is a replacement. Either way, I am stuck.

The tunes are chosen by a hand on the dial and thus the cylinder is displaced slightly by every such selection of tune by moving the hand. There are supposed to be 10 bells and 20 hammers, with 2 hammers striking each bell. Bells are also broken so those need to be cast and tuned to the notes/frequencies of the tunes.

If I were to list those 6 Turkish Tunes and give their music sheet/notesheet, will this forum be able to help me with pin positions as well as the notes to which the bells need to be tuned? If someone here has this knowledge and wants to help me and charge, I would consider it if I could afford it.

Requesting forum members and musicians with mechanical bent of mind for help.

There are blue en red notes for a musicbox thing is one of them a bigger hole ? Which one is little and which one is big

Hi everyone!

I am new here and was looking for any help if possible! I want to create Gabe Bondoc's Gentlemen Don't as a midi file but I have no idea where to start!
Any advice or guidance would be much appreciated! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2CU7q8wVoA

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm new here and I just created a song in the creator, but I have a quick doubt. Why when I click on the same note consecutively, the second one changes its color to red (instead of orange)? I just exported the hole punch paper strips and the crosses appear in red too.

Does this mean that the mechanism can't play the same note consecutively that fast? or what? Thank you!

Bought a Grand Illusions 30 note music box. Here are some major tips if you want it to work:

1. The notes printed on their strips of paper don't correspond to real notes in the real world. They actually say this in the description, but I forgot I read this and then spent days figuring out how their printed notes = real notes. Here's what they say "The notes that are marked on the paper strip, ie G, A, C, are NOT the notes that the music box actually plays, if you compare it with the notes on a piano. So the line marked F# on the music box plays back as a B, G# plays as a C#, etc."

2. If you have the same note repeated more than once (lets say your music has two A notes in a row), that means the prong that came up through the first hole will skip the second hole. It needs a certain width to work, so I found I needed to space the two holes out by one line. Punched hole, space, punched hole. So if you want your music accurate to some sort of tempo, you really need to space EVERYTHING out accordingly (like double spacing an entire paragraph).

Overall, the hardware was great though! Good paper, good machine.

I can't find anything on how to actually use CREATE. Is there a user manual somewhere? Stuff like:
- how to download as a pdf?
- how to duplicate a portion of the song I made and paste it later in the Create timeline?

Is there a Full Range 60 note music box you can buy? I can only find 15 and 30 note boxes.
