Angel Island is committed to thoughtfully producing quality content that doesn't interfere with classical gameplay. With that commitment in mind, our esteemed host Adam Ant is excited to introduce the Sheet Music system!

General Information

The Sheet Music system is unique to Angel Island and works in conjunction with our custom Music Composition system.

In addition to simplifying the composition process, Sheet Music allows entrepreneurial troubadours to sell their tunes to other musicians, either in person or by adding the Sheet Music to the Music Box.

Instructions

To create Rolled Up Sheet Music:

  1. Purchase a Music Composition Book and Manuscript Paper from a Bard NPC.
  2. Preface your composition with its settings (see below), such as which instrument to play and at what tempo.
  3. Fill the Music Composition Book with your Razor-formatted settings, song, and lyrics. Commented-out lines do not need to be removed.
  4. Double-click the Manuscript Paper and target the book.
  5. The blank Manuscript Paper is converted into Rolled Up Sheet Music.

The resulting Rolled Up Sheet Music plays when double-clicked. The Composition Book remains the original source of the tune and stays in the composer's possession for safekeeping.

Because Sheet Music cannot be copied further, this system introduces a new market to the Angel Island economy.

Playing Rolled Up Sheet Music is still subject to the skill requirements of the Music Composition system.

Settings

Individual directives for your song are specified in the comments section at the top of the Razor macro file.

Example: 

# The Decisive Battle FFVI, performed by a sheep: Jan 2022
# Author: a sheep
# Song: The Decisive Battle FFVI
# Instrument: lute
# Tempo: 100
# Prefetch: false
# NewTimer: true
# Price: 1000
# Napster: true

Certain options retain their default settings if unspecified.

If the price of a song is unspecified, it will be set to free when added to the Music Box.

If Napster is set to true, players who purchase your Sheet Music can add it to their own Music Box, but only their own Music Box. The music will not be added to the broader system.

For additional information about these settings, see Instructions for Composers.

Note: It is recommended that you copy and paste these settings at the beginning of your compositions.

Composition Book

Typing directly into books within Ultima Online is generally not recommended, as the books have a tendency to break up lines.

The recommended approach is to write compositions in a text editor or create Razor scripts, then copy and paste them directly into the Composition Book in-game.

Note: You do not need to fix spacing or manually edit the book after pasting. The system is designed to straighten things out during the Sheet Music creation process.
