GI30 100 1280

This is a revision to my first submission of this piece. There is a refrain that I wasn't able to replicate the high note on the 30 note music box. I've since lowered the octave in order to achieve the correct notes. If you downloaded the previous version, please disregard that version. I've also sped up the tempo just so the piece doesn't take so long to play on the website. But this composition played at a faster tempo makes it more cheerful. If you want melancholy just slow down the tempo. A setting of 80 should be good. Lastly there is a lot of repetition in this piece. By eliminating the repeating sections, the composition could be reduced to half the time.

Please note the song is actually 5/4 and not 4/4. Where there is an eighth note immediately played twice, it should only be punched out only once. You can easily see this in the editor as an orange dot followed by a red dot. Just punch a hole in between the orange and red note.

To represent "acciaccatura" in the editor, I had to depict this as a note played immediately twice. If you clone this tune and open in the editor you will see the first note in orange and the next in red. In this situation, do not punch the orange note and simply punch the red note slightly offset to the left of its original placement. I'd recommend the offset to be half the radius of the hole punch. In the situation where there is an orange note immediately followed by two red notes, punch the orange note, do not punch the first red note and punch the second red note offset to the left of its original location. Again offset should be half the radius of the hole punch. Alternatively, you can ignore the red notes altogether as acciaccatura is meant to be played quickly before the essential note. I'm not particularly happy with my transcription of the ending at measure 74 to 81.
