Melody:

The melody input box expects a list of notes separated by spaces.
A note is like this: 5:4
The first number is pitch: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 = do re mefa so la ti do in the current scale.
Use # for sharp, b for flat, e.g. 2#:4, 3b:4
Numbers above 7 are the next octave up. 0 and negative numbers are the next octave down.
Second number is duration: 1 = whole note, 2 = half note, 4 = quarter note, etc.
If not specified, defaults to quarter note.
Can be dotted with a period, e.g. 1:4. is a dotted quarter note.
For a rest, put a . instead of the pitch number: .:1 is a whole rest.
For chords, use roman numerals instead of the pitch number.
Capitals are major chords: I IV V
Lower-case are minor chords: ii iii vi
Add a 7 for a seventh chord: V7

Drum pattern: Drum Help

To make a drum pattern, put one line for each type of drum involved.
Within a line, put x for a regular drum hit, X (capital X) for an extra loud drum hit, and - for silence.
Each line contains one character for each subdivision in the pattern. This will be interpreted according to the time signature.
So if you're in 4/4 you can write -x-x to hit on the 2nd and 4th quarter notes, or -x-x---x to hit on the 2nd, 4th, and 8th eighth notes.
You must use the same number of characters for each drum line.
