in octave 4 displays as
*4#c2
.
Each note must contain the following information, in the
following sequence:

length
, and length
modifier
(optional).
Octave
Enter

before
the note. If
you do not specify an octave, the note is played as an
octave 4 note.
Note:
Octaves

currently available on your phone. The notes are
duplicated in octaves
0-2
and

You can enter one or more rest characters (

Lengths and Modifiers
Set the length (
0

5

a note or rest. If you do not
specify a length, a quarter note length (
2

the note. If needed, you can enter an optional length
modifier (
