Qbasic/QuickBasic Programming

Keyboard & Player Piano is a Windows executable that is designed to compose a song using the computer keyboard (Keyboard Mode) in order for the user to create and save a text file so that the program can playback the music composition (Player Piano Mode). It allows any user who can hum a tune to create music - even if the user cannot read a note of music (like me). The syntax used in the text file music composition is unique to this program and is explained in the included PDF file. The attached zip file contains the source code, the windows executable, the PDF explanatory file with screenshots, and a few music composition text files. One advantage of my keyboard is that it uses the same keys as a Virtual Midi Piano Keyboard which is available as freeware here: http://vmpk.sourceforge.net/ As you probably know, MIDI has many more capabilities that than what the PLAY command has to offer - including changing instruments. So once you have pecked out a song using my program, you can write down the keyboard keys and then use the same keys to play the composition using the Virtual Midi Piano Keyboard.
