maybe add explanation/example about the fact that modern orchestras sometimes play at 442

Looks great! Also considering linking from the man page to https://www.iso.org/standard/3601.html as a reference... but I was a little surprised to learn that the ISO sells the standards, they're not published for free.

[AsterixMusic]

Yes, I did not link the page because you have to pay for reading the ISO file...

Thanks for adding the Bach theme, I think the more identifiable tonal center makes this example shine even more!

My thought was possibly linking there from the actual xml page, not the example... but agreed. We can skip linking it for now, maybe if we stumble across a better source in the future we can include it then.

A very nice example. I might recommend that you consider adding a slightly longer melody - like twinkle, twinkle or Mary Had A Little Lamb

• it would be cooler to hear more notes to a more familiar theme - to really have the light-bulb of awareness and appreciation turn on more brightly in the mind of the student!

Thanks again, Dr.B!

Our team already had an idea where we might make a few of these simple melodies as an include file, so the examples could easily call any of them.

For example, something like this:

But we had never actual filed an issue to track this or make it official. Thanks for bringing this up and reminding me. I'll open one now!

Happy that you didn't take that advice as criticism.

I was just listening with the ears of one of my students who had not yet thought too much about alternate tuning or historical tunings or tuning references and I was thinking that slightly longer (but very familiar little melodies) might help them to get the point - and get inspired by a new awareness.

I love the idea of include files for loops, groves, ostinati, favorite melodies, etc.
