Here is a little tune I composed while trying to get the two little monkeys that live with me to lay down to take a little rest. Composed in Record. Nothing outstanding but I like the vibe and the shooting star effects.

Matching diagrams provide a way to see structure in music. Take the following picture built from the first line of Mary Had a Little Lamb. Each arc connects two matching passages, where a “match” means that they contain the same sequence of notes. To clarify the connection between the visualization and the song, I've shown the score beneath the arcs.

Beginning of Mary Had a Little Lamb, patterns of 3 or more notes.
