Presently the notes sound like from an organ instrument. Is it possible to modify the audio metadata and make it sound like a guitar note?

(Ubuntu)
Was getting the error "c_src/simpleaudio_alsa.c:8:10: fatal error: alsa/asoundlib.h: No such file or directory" when trying to install the module, both with pip and setup.

Solution was:
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get install -y libasound2-dev

Thanks for your library! It's the first Python library I could find that allows to play notes in a simple way.

I intend to use the library with my students. I have some suggestions to extend the API so it would be even more accessible for beginners:

1. Default player: It would be nice to have a default player in the package much like with the turtle package so that one does not have to create a player object:

from musicalbeeps import *

play_note("C5", 0.4)

2. Play a tune which is either a list of notes or a file name, something like:

class Player:
    def play_tune(self, tune):
        if type(tune) == str:
            with open(tune) as file:
                tune = file.readlines()
        for note in tune:
            if ":" in note:
                tone, duration = note.split(":")
                self.play_note(tone, float(duration))

player = Player()
player.play_tune(["C4:.45", "C4:.15", "D4:.60", "C4:.60", "F4:.60", "E4:1.2"])
player.play_tune("happy_birthday.txt")

3. It would be very nice if the tempo could be changed. The tempo would be multiplied with the duration of each note:

player.set_tempo(2)

4. Disable console echo by default.

Thanks for considering my suggestions.

Hi,

1. I've downloaded\installed MusiclBeeps on my Windows10 machine and ran the test program which appears to contain 3 notes and a pause but when I run it I only get one note played and one line of text on the terminal.

This is under Python 3.12.0 64bit

I then changed my settings back to Python 3.11.4 64bit and it appears to be works!!!. It appears that something in 3.12 has broken your library.

2. I downloaded your HappyBirthday.txt file and tried the following in a different program

import musicalbeeps
FileName = r"<MyPath>\HappyBirthday.txt"
musicalbeeps FileName

If I'm reading your instructions correctly this should play the tune in the file, But I keep getting an Invalid Syntax error on the filename (I've also tried it without the FileName variable and I get the same error)
