Update on my spread sheet composer

Start here and follow the links.  I broke the code into three modules, tones, music score, and wav generator


Latest screen shot.  I am working with large score sheets.  I have my original on top, and the same melody transformed six or so steps down.  I can play the score any time as a generated wave fike.

The notes in one column have their tones two columns to the left.  The wave generator knows nothing about western music and works strictly from numerics. Son I create  the column of numerical frequencies from the note using a music macro

Works for me and my beginning guitar.

Issues
The horizontal is strictly time, the wave generator emits samples synchronous with columns of score. So, if we have eighth notes, and we do,then them minimum number of columns for ab 4/4 beat is eight.  That makes for a very wide score sheet, unless you stack them as I do.  But editing score means getting lost unless the measures are clearly outlined with the cell format.

Also, I  make an empty template and copy that.  It already has the complete set up with score sheets, measure clearly m marked and named, arguments set up,.  Then I save one spread sheet,including all, for each song.
