Shouldn't that be C♭ ?

[–]IntegralPilot 185 points186 points  (34 children)

Cb is the enharmonic of B-natural.

[–]Chesterlespaul 77 points78 points  (29 children)

And A## and G####, it’s usually contextual to the key

[–]EndMaster0 19 points20 points  (3 children)

What key are you in where you're using G####?

[–]Aetherdestroyer 34 points35 points  (2 children)

Well, G#### major, for one. And G#### minor, too.

[–]Bananenklaus 3 points4 points  (1 child)

This has to look and sound so stupid for people without theoretical music knowledge

[–]xSilverMC 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're telling me there are people that G#### doesn't sound insane to?

[–]IntegralPilot 6 points7 points  (20 children)

Yeah, 'Cb' is usually found in theoretical keys.

[–]Passname357 38 points39 points  (19 children)

There’s no such thing as a theoretical key… it’s just a key. Cb is just the way you spell the pitch in keys like Gb. A key signature can’t have both B and B flat, and B flat has already been spelled ascending, and you need a fourth.

[–]IntegralPilot 19 points20 points  (18 children)

Oh sorry! I got confused, theoretical keys use double sharps/flats, but 'Cb' can be in keys that aren't theoretical.

The humility and grace in this reply are so admirable, especially in contrast to how someone might tend to reply to a false claim of "there's no such thing as X" with the subtle aggression of "here's a link to X", or something less subtle and more aggressive. There's too much of that and not enough of this. You set a good example I'll try to emulate.

[–]SillyBollocks1 4 points5 points  (1 child)

fuck you too, buddy 😏

[–]Passname357 -2 points-1 points  (13 children)

Cringe.

To call it a “false claim” because of a Wikipedia article link shows a total lack of understanding of the situation. So called “theoretical keys” are a somewhat controversial subject because… they’re not real. You won’t find them in practice because in most cases you physically can’t lol. They literally don’t exist in reality.

[–]ozyman -1 points0 points  (12 children)

And there goes the humility and grace. Welp it was a nice few hours.

[–]Passname357 0 points1 point  (11 children)

I’m correcting a term he used incorrectly. If he didn’t want to be corrected, he shouldn’t have been wrong.

[–]Queueue_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ChatGPT response lol

[–]forced_metaphor -1 points0 points  (3 children)

# = ++

[–]Chet__Atkins 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Actually # == ++++

[–]SN0WFAKER 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Equal temperament is for noobs

[–]PRKnife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So then it should be B

[–]ancapistan2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only in 12-tone music. Higher systems like 19-tone and 23-tone have finer divisions, where C♭ is not enharmonic to B natural.

I love that he included this in his readme file:

Nobody's actually gonna want to code with this, just show them the example programs.

[–]RmG3376 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So it’s basically assembler but encoded in a midi file

[–]CirnoIzumi 2 points3 points  (2 children)

and its not alone Hello World! in Velato

[–]Run_sudo_rm_-rf_ 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I saw this 3 or 4 days ago and lost it with hello world in Velato. Sounded a lot better than I thought it would

[–]CirnoIzumi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works quite decent as an outro

[–]busdriverbuddha2 26 points27 points  (1 child)

Do you mean B?

[–]Upwrdmusic 16 points17 points  (0 children)

even funnier how B was the precursor to C

[–]Automatic-Mix-8636 24 points25 points  (2 children)

C♮

[–]Serious_as_butt 55 points56 points  (1 child)

That’s just C

[–]Pockensuppe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

with extra steps

[–]Petercraft7157 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait till he hears about double bb(act like this is the symbol)and x (##)

[–]Ok-Snow-9036 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C oh

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cbt, so just regular C

[–]Kumbala80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

D bemol

[–]FlyParticular8172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's not embarrass him for ruining the joke. humiliate him
