Looking for cheap music box tune maker. Email me at michelleestoya26@gmail.com

I thought that a discord server aimed at music boxes would be nice to show projects in progress, and to help each other with the paper roll music box projects. I came up after the idea after helping a few people on reddit with their projects.

So if you like music boxes, and/or sometimes want some help or feedback on your paper roll music box projects, feel free to join!

I have a budget of about 30 aud and I want a 30 note music box. Any recommendations

Hi All, I just published a full length 30 note music box arrangement of the song Maybe Next Time, originally by Michael Murphy. Check it out: https://musicboxmaniacs.com/explore/melody/michael-murphy-maybe-next-time_104420/

This Python program automates the whole process of converting a 30-note DXF file exported from musicmanics.com to an SVG file that can be directly uploaded to and cut by Cricut Design Space. Demo is here: https://youtu.be/y3J86qpPQiQ

You can view the files and the documentation at

Please note the disclaimers, licensing info etc. there.

Other methods of doing this worked, but without Illustrator, I needed an alternative. My husband wrote this program to help me out. Hopefully his sharing it will be fun for others as well.

I've been working on this arrangement for a while now, and punching it out (still going on by hand) took me a few days. The paperstrip is almost 10 meters long and takes about 7-8 minutes to play. I wanted to share it here because I can share it though the Musicboxmaniacs editor. The file is too long as this editor only allows for a length of up to 2048 and my song is about twice of that. I also have a small glissando in there somewhere.
However, I can share my pattern here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kYhyy14CIF5eReLZ7kriHtL_e2cunrMA/view?usp=sharing
and https://drive.google.com/file/d/1f8Wl9BlvZdmR5j1FjDDAWnxWIkmEMAnS/view?usp=sharing

And here's the performance of the piece to judge if this is worthy of your time :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtqyiSG9ELE&ab_channel=HannekeDebie

Quiero hacer varias cajitas con diferentes canciones, pero no se como, ni de donde sacar las notas de las canciones, ¿hay algun video o cursode ustedes que me pueda ayudar?

I have modofied a song which contains a number of tuplets. Can I reproduce these on a paper strip by making the holes slightly closer than the printed lines and will the fingers be able to recover sufficiently to play them (they are not the same note) and secondly when I transfer my MP3 file to the MMM editing programme it doesn't recognise them and throws out the remainder of the tune. Anyone a solution?
