- Instructions
- ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- I am a piano teacher and use this game alot with my students. It is
- a pleasent diversion from music for them but still tests there ability to
- read notes on the Grand Staff.
- I use a method that starts you in different hand positions. A hand
- position would be 5 notes in the treble clef(for your right hand) and 5
- notes in the bass clef(for your left hand).
-
- ─── [Hand position] ───────────────
-
- To start the game right you need to pick a hand position first. To
- select the Hand position Menu, point mouse cursor and click left mouse
- button. The keys on the keyboard are a combination of Alt key plus
- the highligted letter on the top bar.
- To select a hand position from the menu, point the mouse cursor over
- item and press left mouse button. To use the keyboard move the highlighted
- bar over item then press enter or press the matching number on the right
- of items. To move the highlighted bar up and down, use up and down cursor
- arrows. Right after entering a handposition, the level menu will
- automatically open.
-
- "C Major Treble" - are only five notes that your right hand would play
- in the treble clef. The notes would begin at middle C up to G.
-
- "C Major Bass" - are only five notes that your left hand would play in
- the bass clef. The notes would begin at C eight notes lower than middle C,
- up to a G.
-
- "F Major Treble" - are five notes in the treble clef. Beginning at F, four
- notes above middle C, then up to C, eight notes higher then middle C.
-
- "F Major Bass" - are five notes in the bass clef. Beginning at F, five
- notes below middle C, then up to middle C.
-
- "G Major Treble" - are five notes in the treble clef. Beginning at F, five
- notes above middle C, then up to D, nine notes higher then middle C.
-
- "G Major Bass" - are five notes in the bass clef. Beginning at G, four
- notes below middle C, then up to D, one notes higher then middle C.
-
- "Advanced Treble and Advanced Bass" - are notes that encompass all the
- notes on each given Clef.
-
- ─── [Level] ───────────────
-
- Right after entering a handposition, the level menu will automatically
- open. To select this menu from the top bar, point mouse on Level and
- click left mouse button. Or with the keyboard press Alt key plus "L".
-
- There are four levels:
-
- 1) Advanced
- 2) Intermediate
- 3) Novice
- 4) Beginner
-
- Each level setups up a timer clock.
- Advanced - you have 6 seconds to shoot the correct note before you are
- penalized.
- Intermediate - you have 9 seconds.
- Novice - you have 12 seconds.
- Beginner- no seconds, take all the time you need to decide which is the
- correct note to shoot.
-
- ─── [Play] ───────────────
-
- Right after entering a level, the play item will light up. Press enter
- to begin a game.
-
- You start with two guns on the left of playing screen. On the right
- is a bullet, indicating increase or decrease in Life. If the bullet makes
- it to the top, you will gain another gun. If you continue to make wrong
- choses in shooting notes, the bullet will go down. When it reaches the
- bottom you will lose a gun.
- If you successfully gain more then seven guns, you win. Try to use the
- hardest handpositions(Advanced).
- To move the barrel right and left, use right and left arrow keys. Press
- space bar to shoot. When all the notes are shot, press "R" key to repeat,
- or press [ESC] key to leave the playing screen.
-
- ─── [File] ───────────────
-
- Teaching many students, I thought it useful to document their progress
- in learning there notes. The File menu is there for that purpose. It
- basically allows you to save a game to later load it back. You may view
- how you are doing(hits and misses). Also, print your game statistics.
-
- 1)Load - type in the DOS path and file name you wish to load then press
- enter.
- 2)Save - type in the DOS path and file name you wish to save then press
- enter.
- 3)Print - will print your game statistics to LPT1 by default.
- 4)Dosshell - shell out to the DOS prompt. This is usefully if you are
- not sure where a file might be or what name a file might be. Type "EXIT"
- at the command prompt to resume program.
- 5)View - view game statistics on screen.
- 6)Delete - delete a Shoot the Notes game file.
- 7)Quit - quit the game.
