Created Sound.duration, and included a function on how to convert musical notation into time for musicians.

New page

<c>[[Sound]].duration</c> controls for how long a sound will play in seconds.

== Musician's Note ==
Mini Micro does not by default give you duration in musical terms. A good function for calculating this is the formula:

<ms>CalculateNote = function(tempo, noteValue)
60 / tempo * noteValue
end function</ms>

Note value can be determined by the type of note you want to reproduce:
{| class="wikitable"
! Note Type
! Value
|-
| Sixteenth Note
| 0.25
|-
| Eighth Note
| 0.5
|-
| Quarter Note
| 1.0
|-
| Half Note
| 2.0
|-
| Whole Note
| 4.0
|}
Dotted notes take the value of the original note and adds half to it:
{| class="wikitable"
! Note Type
! Value
|-
| Dotted Sixteenth Note
| 0.375
|-
| Eighth Note
| 0.75
|-
| Dotted Quarter Note
| 1.5
|-
| Dotted Half Note
| 3.0
|-
| Dotted Whole Note
| 6.0
|}
Triplets, likewise, are 1/3 of the value above it (so a triplet eighth note is a third the value of a quarter note):
{| class="wikitable"
! Note Type
! Value
|-
| Triplet Sixteenth Note
| 0.165
|-
| Triplet Eighth Note
| 0.333
|-
| Triplet Quarter Note
| 0.667
|-
| Triplet Half Note
| 1.333
|}
