Type your message in the plaintext box to encipher. Upper-case letters can change the octave for smoother melodic lines. * (or & for upper octave) followed by a pitch name will transpose the subsequent encryption based on a new tonic. Spaces are ignored; commas add bar lines; periods add a new staff.

Decrypt:  

Ciphermelodies can be translated back into plaintext using the decryption box above. Type the extracted cipher symbols as a two-digit number in the format [beat][degree]. For example, 35 represents 3•5^, which decrypts to the letter d. You must include a space between each number; enter = at the end of the line to render the musical notation.
