Your phone identifies each note by octave ( *0 through *8 ),
note ( a through g , with sharp notes preceded by a # ), and
note length ( 0 through 5 ). For example, a C# quarter note
in octave 4 appears as *4#c2 .
Each note must contain the following information, in the
following sequence: octave, note, length, and length
modifier (optional).
Octave
Enter * before a number to identify it as an octave value.
Octave information ( *0 to *8 ) must come before the note.
If you do not specify an octave, the note is played as an
octave 4 note.
