notes::show .c {C D E F G+ G+ a a a a G++}An appended plus sign doubles, a minus sign halves the duration. This still leaves lots to do, but it's a fun beginning... The demo program (see screenshot above) has both a canvas for the notes and an entry widget for the input. <Return> in the entry widget updates the canvas.See TclMusic for an updated (but not yet feature-complete) version of this.

Amazing! Absolutely Amazing for such a small piece of code. Nicely Done!
HJG I added an input-line for a songtitle and lyrics. ":" separates the songtitle from the lyrics, "-" separates syllables, "=" writes a "-", and "_" writes a blank under a note.The example2 is a variation of 99 bottles of beer, found at http://sniff.numachi.com/~rickheit/dtrad/pages/tiPROGBUGS;ttBOT99.html (It took longer to find/choose and enter this demo, than the actual programming :-) Now, it would be nice to have a few extras, e.g. make these entry-fields height 2 or 3, as well as options to set the symbols for the key, and to connect notes with a bar or slur...
uniquename 2014jan27Here is an image of the window with HJG's input-line for songtitle and lyrics --- and with the "Programmer's Drinking Song" as sample input, for notes and lyrics.The lyrics are a bit cramped --- probably from trying to write each syllable directly below the corresponding note. By changing the note spacing, this cramping might be eliminated in most cases.Suchenwirth's high-quality rendering of the notes is quite remarkable. These images remind me of the quality he put into A little slide-rule.
