Working on this - a friend recently started teaching the basics of reading music - so I thought I'd try create something to practice with.

Very basic at the moment (I need to add bass Clef to cover notes below C4), and add some lines in when they go off the stave, but it's mostly working.

Looks good. Your server isn't set up for .ogg files though so no sound in Firefox.

Promising!

Yes, run it in FF with Firebug enabled and you'll see the error message.

No sound in IE9 either, but that's not really a surprise :(

How do I fix it? Do I need to set permissions on the files? I just exported and uploaded, didn't know I needed to change anything.

A catastrophic fail if you can't hear the sound!

I need to reinstall FireFox/IE - I'm loading m4a/ogg via the audio element :

You have to set the correct mime types. It depends on the server. For apache add:

AddType audio/ogg oga ogg

AddType audio/mp4 m4a

to the .htaccess file.

Nah it goes in the root folder johnnysix.net Well the .htaccess file in the root folder will affect the whole site. You can put a .htaccess file in any folder eg. johnnysix.net/games and it will only affect that folder and sub-folders.

Hmm, I'll ask my host if I can do that, didn't know it was the server causing it. <img src="smileys/smiley21.gif" border="0" align="middle">

I made a new version ( I guess Chrome only for now ) - increased the range of notes playable/quizable and added in the extra lines for notes outside the usual 5. I tightened up the graphics on level three also, as the extra notes required more space.

Yeah all good now. You might want to preload the sounds so that there's no delay the first time you play them.
