Anyone know good sources for public domain / permissively licensed piano notes (like c c d c f e) for music?

Ideally this sort of style -- (PC speaker/buzzer)

Although stuff like Tandy 3 Voice Sound would be useful too

Have you considered using a generator? There are hundreds of methods to do this, nowadays..
For example, Audacity (free) is apparently compatible with VSTi Synths, a good bunch of which you'll find online for free, too.
Grab a bunch, and have a play about. You should be able to come up with a nice generator for your note sounds, then save the, out as waves.

Oh the technical part is all fine -- I've got code which synthesises audio on the fly from notes or piano keys.

The only problem is I can't make any decent tunes out of it!

Always much harder to google for things when you can't quite find the right word!!

If you're after little ditties, have a hunt for some oldskool ringtones. They're not complex, and they're usually easy to decipher into notation.
Licensing could be quirky, but if they're only little jingles and things, you're usually ok under Fair-Use.. .. But I'm no lawyer!!

Get one of those sound generators like Proteus VX and search for some piano keys that support MIDI. That should do it.

google the word

Proteus VX

I've never found a keyboard program that was compatible.

Thanks Jay! Old Nokia composer codes are perfect!

(That was an amazing phone feature -- why can't phones do that today?!?)

Edit: On the offchance, is this useful to anybody?

...because you can make more money from audioclips :/

I grew up with "computer" music, rather than paper form.
As such, I've always found it tricky to sight-read notated music.

I still have to do that "counting the lines between the notes to figure out what note it is" thing!!

So, no, I prefer letters and numbers that scroll upwards in patterns!
