I made this program earlier today. It uses some of the new Grammer commands to work as a music player  The readme details the file structure, too. I am not knowledgeable about music, so I am not even sure if I assigned the notes properly, but you can choose notes, octaves, and duration, so have fun! |

| Haha yes ... Music geek here so if you could tell me some of the inner workings of this I can tell you how true to music theory it is. Also where could one get headphones for the calc. or by chance if this program was used on a calc. emulator would I be able to hear the music? |

Well, in short, I apparently am lacking in a few key parts >.> And you can listen to it in WabbitEmu if you want (there is a thing that lets you turn sound on or off). Anyways, Grammer has a command that lets you input a note, octave, and duration. I got the values for the frequency->notes and octave from a chart using a similar routine, so I am pretty sure I got that much right (as well as the duration). However, apparently there is something called Tempo that I need to factor in as well .___. Plus, since this interprets the code at this point (I haven't written the code to compile), it slows things down a bit so 64th notes sound a bit crappy. Anyways, what it does:
read a byte. If it is a letter, check for if it is flat or sharp, then return a value (I got the values from another musicly inclined person). Then it moves to the next byte to see if a new octave is specified or a dot. If those are encountered, I take the current speed (like 1/4th or whatever) and multiply it by 1.5 and then the note is played. Also, if a number is encountered (except when setting a new speed), that will specify the octave. the speed is in 64ths, so if you set it to 3, it will play at three times longer than the fastest it can play. |

No, I don't think so. That might be possible using some number theory plus music theory, though  However, I leave that up to people that actually know what they are doing XD |
