Summary

Archived First Post

I would love a ton if someone could make ABC Notations in RPG Maker. It has been done a few times in video games allowing players to play music via a text file or even from the instruments themselves where you can pound on the keys and make music.

Can even bring instruments into the game overtime etc

Here is a wiki page on it:
