more on learning earthsea - I suspect not an issue for guitarists but for keyboard players like myself the grid layout is taking a bit of learning without any visual clues.
as a quick hack to help learning if you go into earthsea in Maiden and add the note_name function and change your redraw function to the below you can get a slightly more helpful display for learning. This probably wonât stay in my script but useful for the moment while I learn my way around the notesâŚ
local notes = {"C","C#","D","Eb","E","F","F#","G","Ab","A","Bb","B"}
function note_name(x,y)
local note = ((7-y)*5) + x
return notes[((note-3)%12)+1]
end
function redraw()
screen.clear()
screen.aa(0)
screen.line_width(1)
local i = 1
local cnt = 0
local ln = "Notes:"
for k,v in pairs(lit) do
ln = ln .." " .. note_name(v.x,v.y)
cnt = cnt + 1
if cnt == 7 then
screen.move(0,10*i)
screen.text(ln)
cnt = 0
i = i + 1
ln = " "
end
end
screen.move(0,10*i)
screen.text(ln)
screen.update()
end
