Sure, but it's a REAL mess (Turbo Pascal hack).

Definitely! :-)

Try 'h' instead.

It tries to find a set of notes with minimal distances, based on some
very coarse formula. A musician will know how to improve it. And it
doesn't care for the correct base frequency, just the distances,
because IMO it doesn't matter if the whole tune is played at a
(slightly) higher or lower pitch.

The file is attached. :-)
Have fun!
