These programs require PBASIC V# 2.1 or Greater

Syntax PBASIC MBACH1.BAS
       PBASIC MBDAY.BAS
       PBASIC MBETH2.BAS
       PBASIC MBACH2.BAS    (Minuet:From Movie COMPUTER DREAMS)
       PBASIC MPETER1.BAS   (Peter and the Wolf)
       PBASIC MKRIEGER.BAS  (Johann Krieger) 

   Please note in BDAY.BAS you can change line 6 with the editor to
read "Happy Birthday Fred !!" or any message you choose. Also you may
adjust the tempo in line 17 in all the songs.(see REM statement)

   If you have a song you'd like to see, send me a note.(Please remember
the number of notes * time to input it= my frustration level.)

   After the latest release of PBASIC by BJ Gleason, I noticed that
it supported DATA statements and that led me right back to my old
Commador 64 days and trying to write music on it using POKE statements.
   Nowadays I have a full MIDI setup but can't take it with me,..until
the Portfolio came out ! My basic is still very rusty (you'll notice
that if you peek at the code) and I'd love some help in defining
variables so my data statements looked like this:

  1000DATA C#6,Q,D5,F,E7,H (with Q=quarter note F=Full,H=Half,etc )

    Instead of:

  1000DATA 54,25,41,50,61,25,

   Is this Possible ? I'd also like to see someone re-write this
   that is more knowledgable than I in basic, to clean up the code.

    I just taped a piece of paper with the port #'s on it above my
 keyboard and guessed at the timing.  Enjoy and let me know about related
 projects that involve Music / Graphics and the Port.

*   This will be my second set of songs for the port. The third set
* will probally be Beattles or something more modern.I'd also like to
* set up a "Juke Box" with a menu and you can choose which song in the
* future and enclude all of these.
*   Please keep in mind that music on the port uses alot of battery
* power to push that little speaker.Even so, I haven't noticed alot
* of battery drain but,...
*   I've changed the code so they songs run faster and less "computer
* like".You can also add a more human feel to these by altering the
* 25,50,75,100,150, numbers in the data statements.Also Note line 13,
* as you can change the song tempo to your liking.
