Music is a vital part of Lord of the Rings Online. Players can play different instruments and songs by using the keyboard.

Contents

Playing Music

To get started in game, go seek a Bard, purchase an instrument and type /music to play. A progress bar will appear to let you know you are now in music mode. To play notes, use any of the several keyboard commands associated with playing music. To get out of music mode, simply move your character (or use the command /music off).

Instruments

The following instruments are available for purchase from a Bard

These items can be purchased for 2 silver from a Bard. Advanced versions of some of these instruments can be made by woodworkers, but can only be used by Minstrels.

Below is information on classes, and level requirements for instruments are available for

(b)c2 means that Control 2 plays D flat. (same note as C#)
  • Note that there is a bit of overlap (E = 3 & c4, B = 7 & c8, c = 8 & s1)

Songs

When numbers are in italic text; it means to hold shift, when numbers are in bold text; it means to hold control, and when numbers are encased in parenthesis mean to repeat them multiple times.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow Side

S# = Press Shift and the # = 1 octave higher. C# = Press Control and the # = Flat note.

S1 is the same note as #8 but sometimes it's easier to press S1 instead of 8, and vice versa.

4 S4 S3 S1 S2 S3 S4 4 S2 S1 2 C7 6 4 5 6 C7 5 3 4 5 6 4

Personally on the last line I would prefer a SC7 in there, but.... the game can't do shift-control combinations, so you're stuck rehashing the standard verse.

ABC-system

All ABC files that you create for playback in LOTRO must have an .abc extension, and they must be stored in a sub-folder named Music that is located in My Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online. To play an ABC file from within the LOTRO client, enter the Player Music System mode by using the /music command. Then play each ABC file by using the command /play [filename], where [filename] is the name of an ABC file minus the .abc extension. For best-quality playback, you should enable the Quantize Player Music checkbox in the Audio section of your LOTRO client options. One can download files from the following site: http://www.thefatlute.com
