Enter your song name:
So you composed music by using only 3 elements: tempo, 3jcn notes and 3jcn rests. Do you notice how much space does a song take?
Only one line for 'Happy Birthday'! Western musical stuffs such as staff (stave), time signature, key signature, measure,
vertical bar lines, bass clef, treble clef, tie, dot, triplet, tuplets, etc. have been eliminated for good.
You don't need to know a lot of Western music theory to write song. You just need to know 3JCN notes and rests.
