sing(str,bpm) 
function song = sing(str,bpm)
% SING - A basic keyboard for MATLAB using chebfuns
%
% S = SING('STR1 STR2 STR3 ...') creates a chebfun F corresponding to the 
% musical notes in each of the STR which vaguely correspond to Helmholtz
% pitch notation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmholtz_pitch_notation).
%
% S = SING('STR1 ...',BPM) alters the temp of the tune (in beats per
% minute). The default value is 60bpm.
%
% For example, S = SING('A'), produces a function corresponding to the note
% A, S = SING('B') produces a B, and so on.
%
% Basic chords are provided, for example S = SING('CEG') will produce a 
% major triad (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_chord). The convention
% is for the kth note to have 1/k times the amplitude of the first.
% 
% Empty spaces correspond to pause of a sixteenth note (semiquaver), and
% commas seperate notes without a pause.
%
% If STR is in uppercase, it will last for a quarter note (crotchet), and
% lower case notes for a sixteenth note (semiquaver).
%
% The SING keyboard has three octaves (in A to G). S = SING('C-') produces
% a low C, S = SING('C') produces a middle C, and S = SING('C+') produces a
% high C.
%
% Sharps are supported by using '#', but there is currently no notation for
% flats.
%
% Examples:  
%  1. Ode to Joy:
%     S = SING('BG- BG- CA DB DB CA BG- AD- G-B G-B AD- BG- BG- AD- AD-');
%  2. God Save The Queen
%     S = SING('CG CG DG BG CG DG EC EC FC EC DG CG DG CG BG CG',30);
