melody for to cure a weakling child on richard d james album.
the letters are notes, and the dashes are time units you would just tap your foot to say to keep rhythm but don't contain notes.
I already posted this under the "test" thread but now people will know what it is from the title of this thread, or yarn or what have you. I played the album while trying to find the right notes and I'm pretty sure I found them. I'm not good at going by ear, so I had to play bit by bit and play 1 key at a time to see if it resonated properly with the melody's keys. It used to be one of my least favorite songs on the RDJ album but it has an after taste after awhile.

I'll give it a single bump. The first, second and third line I'm almost positive are correct. The 4th might be a little bit wrong but it's mostly right at least. This polyphony sounds so great together. The second line has both notes and voices going along with the notes (my - feet - my - arms - and - my - ears - - - and - - - your - beat)

also notice: the first line just sort of augments the second line.
the notes use 7 white keys in a row cdefgab, respectively. the first and second line use c efg the 3rd line includes a (and b maybe i couldn't really tell)
and the 4th line includes d.
So, only when all these lines act together does the entire row of 7 notes get used simultaneously... it's great.

if i understood letters and such your work would be greatly appriecated. i understand notation to the point where i can program it into software.
so, if you were to make that into notation, i would be the happiest boy this christmas!

it really doesn't seem too complicated... if I had four or five arms I'd play it on piano...

I'll explain it further or try anyway. First do you own a keyboard so that I can have an easy visual for you to refer to (then I can say "push the second white key yada yada" and it would make more sense).
Also in your software that you use, are you able to enter musical notes in it? like can you enter a note "c" or a note "a"? If that's the case it should be pretty easy to explain. I can't read musical notes, like those little black notes on paper, but can refer to them as "b" and "a" and whatnot.

so you actually have to compose with those little black notes? Well I read about notation in "the encyclopedia of music" but was a bit confused by the way it was written.
g f-------- e d-------- c b-------- a g-------- f e-------- d
b a-------- g f-------- e d-------- c b-------- a g-------- f
there's 5 lines on top of another 5 lines in notation (I think) and this is what the picture said in this book anyway. between the groups of 5 is "middle c", I don't think this will help but all well.
