Xylophone Melody
About
I had problems playing melodies on kids xylophone we have. I am not a musician, so it is hard for me to read real musical notation, but those made specifically for kids xylophones are also not so easy to read and play. Usually simplifyed schemas are just numbers in colored squares written in a line, which is visually not so clear. So I thought, what if notes would be written not in line but in column — each note in its own horisontal position? So when I need to move to the right or left, I will visually see it.
And it worked! It is indeed much easier to read and play. I made this tool to make it easy to type any melody you find in the internet or in kids xylophone notes book and see it in vertical way. Everything you need to do is to type note numbers separated by comma in schema field and press submit button.
