There's some clever ways that one can code "The ABC Song". Here's a version that organizes the form via subroutines, uses conditional to capture the slight variation in rhythm, and loads all the lyrics into a heap to be called during musical playback.

Didn't think there could be so much in this seemingly simple tune, did you?

And here's the "making of" video, for anyone who wants to watch how the program was made: https://iv.ggtyler.dev/watch?v=PklYj6JDtik

I used Music Blocks's in-app screen recorded to make the video, and then I ran the following ffmpeg command:

ffmpeg -r:v "375/1" -i making-ada-zangemann.webm -an -r:v "30/1" making-ada-zangemann-fast.webm

Did you know that pitch can be represented as numbers?

Well, if you play a fretted instrument, then you likely already know this. Each fret is can be represented by a number; higher frets are higher pitches, and lower frets are lower pitches.

Check out this phone keypad project, where you can "dial up" melodies and explore the concept of (chromatic) "pitch number".

Project: https://musicblocks.sugarlabs.org/index.html?id=1714441670403217&run=True

Read the final report from one of this year's #GSoC contributors for #SugarLabs, Mohit Gupta! In it, he details his work to implement full-screen and record features, improve how Music Blocks (v3) works on mobile and touchscreen devices, and fix a variety of very pesky bugs!

Read about his progress and how he found solutions to each problem: https://musicblocks.net/2023/10/04/maintenance-bug-fixes-for-music-blocks-3/ #MusicBlocks #MusicPlusCode #FixingBugs #Learning #Fun #SummerOfCode
