hi I'm very new to music box and also music theory. I'm trying to arrange the melody from music sheet into 30 tone music box melody,but as you know some keys are not avaliable
are there anyway you mix two notes to gether to create subtitue for the note?? for example i want to put c4#
some time i bring up the whole room one octave but i'm still curious if there's any method avaliable
thank you so much! ps. english is not my first languge sorry for any grammar mistake
Hello, I suggest to use the harmony to substitute the missing note. Sometimes your brain places the sound even if it is not there. In any case the first thing you must try is to transpose the whole song to the best fitting tone to have the less missing notes as possible.
Let me put you an example: you want C#4 (in A major 7 tone). If you play A3 E4 G4 simultaneously, you will "hear" the missing note even if it is not there. It works better sometimes than other, but you should try.
When this happens, what I do is based on the Sheppard Tone Illusion. So for example, if I have CDEFGA in octave 3 in my sheet music, but G and A are missing in octave 3 in music boxes, I would punch in C3, D3, E3+E2, F3+F2, G2, A2.

You can add a bit of material to an individual note with a soldering iron to lower the pitch.
