SINGING ROBIN INSTRUCTIONS

To use the robin attach both the HUD and the robin to your avatar. The HUD piano keyboard can be used to play music with the robin. You can compose and load songs via notecards inside the HUD (3 Xmas song examples are included.)

ROBIN OPTIONS
Click on the robin to show/hide his xmas hat and turn on/off the particles when he sings

LOAD A SONG
On the hud click the disk icon, a menu with a list of notecard inside the HUD will appear that you can load.

COMPOSE A SONG
To help compose your own music click the speech bubble icon with musical notes inside on the hud. This will caused the note you press to say its name in chat. You will need to know their names when creating a song notecard.

This is an example of the jingle bells song included with an explanation.

SongName=Jingle Bells
- This is the title of the song, it displays in chat when it loads

Tempo=200
- This is the tempo in bpm. You can also put Time= to set a timer interval in seconds. for example time=0.5 to trigger a new note every 0.5 seconds.

*Score*
- This is the header to say the musical score follows.

fff
- Sets the volume (dynamics) to very loud. Available options from quiet to loud are as follows ppp,pp,p,mp,mf,f,ff,fff

e2,e2,e2,*,e2,e2,e2,*,e2,g2,c2,d2,e2,*,f2,f2,f2,f2,f2,e2,e2,e2,e2,d2,d2,e2,d2,*,*,g2
- This is the songs score. Each note/event is separated by a comma.
- An * represents a single beat pause.
- You can use the commands tempo= or time= to change the tempo at any stage
- As well as the single beat pause you can also create a timed pause with the command pause=
(eg pause=0.5 will create a half second pause)
- At any point in the song you can change the dynamics with the options ppp,pp,p,mp,mf,f,ff,ff
- You can spread the song over multiple lines for readability.

NOTE ABOUT LAG
The HUD has a built in sound pre-cache system to cache sounds for avatars near by to prevent delays while the sounds download. Please note however the HUD uses a timer to trigger sounds which can be affected by lag. The songs and HUD will work best in a low lag environment.
