Tutorial: How to play lotro songs yourself. Lotro music numbers are easy!

Lotro music numbers are easy - you can learn how to play instruments in Lord of The Rings Online, too.

This list of LotRO music was posted in the "LOTRO song compilation" thread.
Read this and get to play lotro songs yourself, too.

This uses Psomm's keymapping:

QWERTYUI = Note 1 thru 8 (This is the low octave C to C)
ASDFGHJK = Note 17 thru 24 (This is the high octave C to C)
123 = Note 9,10,11 (This is low B and low octave black keys C# and D#)
567 = Note 13,14,15 (this is low octave F#, G#, and A#)

I believe (though I've not tried it yet) that you can use the utility made by "House Of Dexter" to remap these lists to other mapping formats. (see the post from March 14th)

Hymn to Joy by Ludwig van Beethoven:
Compiled by Keln

s(1+3 1+3 2+4 3+5 3+5 2+4 1+3 2112 1+3 1+3 22)
s(1+3 1+3 2+4 3+5 3+5 2+4 1+3 2112 1+3 211)
s(22 1+3 1 2 1+3 2+4 1+3 1 2 1+3 2+4 1+3 212) 5
s(1+3 1+3 2+4 3+5 3+5 2+4 1+3 2112 1+3 211)

All of the numbers within the parenthesis preceeded by an "s" means hold down the shift key while playing them. Basically all notes in this song are done using the shift key except for the low 5 which is played without holding anything down. All "pairs" denoted by a #+# should be played at the same time, ei. 1+3 would be played by hitting the 1 and the 3 keys at the same time (yes while holding shift in this compilation). A simpler version of this song can be played by simple dropping the first number in each pair and playing the second. Example, to play a simple version of 1+3, drop the one and play only the 3. Also, I like to play the final note s1 as s1+3 because it sounds nicer.

Danny Boy

8 and 1, for all purposes, are the same note, just an octave seperated. For notes below the root of the song, I'll use dashes to indicate they are in the lower octave. Maybe someone musically inclined can translate it to something undersdtandable ingame.

C(7 1 2 3)
Oh Danny Boy

The Pipes the Pipes are

Ca-all-ing,

From glen to glen

And down the Mountain Side,
C(7 1 2 3)
The Summer's gone,

2 1 C6
Dye-ye-ing,

'Tis you, 'tis you
6 5 3

The song continues similarly, except it starts on the 5th interval.

Being a jig (albeit a slower one) this should be played at a relatively quick pace. Imagine drums in the background. Ba bum bum bum bum Ba bum buddah bum bum...

I think it's right, but I'm not 100% sure. keys without a "-" in between are played very closely together.
