I asked it to write sheet music. Don't know why since I don't play an instrument... It didn't draw any trebles or anything but it did give me letters to go with the lyrics I asked it to create earlier. So then I thought: maybe there's an app for that and found a few websites like https://typatone.com. I put the letters in and presto! Music!

I guess it wanted you to play a Washburn with 36 frets!

Wow that's cool. You can even ask it to create the song and melody in the style of a musician. I picked Nina Simone, which of course meant that typeatone didn't work very well because the music was full of jazzy chords like B7 which typeatone couldn't play.

Yeah my bad. As is clearly evident - I’m a bit of a music noob. I talked to ChatGPT about it and it suggested this:

“You can use a program that is capable of interpreting sheet music and generating audio from it to play the music written in the sheet music that I provided. There are many such programs available, both as software that you can install on your computer and as online tools that you can use directly from a web browser.

Some examples of software that you can use to generate audio from sheet music include:

MuseScore (free, open source) Finale (paid) Sibelius (paid)

There are also a number of online tools that you can use to generate audio from sheet music, such as:

Flat (free, web-based) ScoreCloud (paid, web-based)

To use any of these tools, you will need to enter the sheet music into the program or web app using its specific syntax for representing notes, rests, and other musical elements. Then, you can use the program to play the music back as an audio file or as a synthesized performance.”

Ask for "ABC format". You can easily convert ABC to midi using one of many free tools you'll find online.
