playnotes
Entrada: notes [list]
Salida: none
Plays back the provided list of notes. L specifies note length (0 = 16th note, 1 = 8th, 2 = dotted 8th, quarter, dotted quarter, half, dotted half, whole, dotted whole and double whole respectively.) R denotes a rest of the specified length, while Vxx sets the volume of subsequent notes.
Pxx sets the pan (0 = left, 99 = right) while RVx (0-100) sets the reverb level. PBxxx sets pitch bend, and LOOP causes the provided notes to play forever.
All notes and commands MUST be in uppercase, eg A3, due to the use of lowercase b to denote flats (eg Bb). If a list of notes is provided inside of the list supplied to playnotes, those notes are played simultanously, as a chord.
Qx queues playback to next X 'beat', eg 1 = next beat, 4 = next bar. See beat
Sxx causes notes to sustain, with xx being tenths of a second

playmusic
Entrada: musicname (word)
Salida: none
Begins playing the named music. The music needs to have first been loaded into memory using loadmusic. Tracker music is currently unsupported in the web environment. However, if a sound name is provided in the form of a list, playmusic will play and loop that instead, and pausemusic and stopmusic can be used to control it. See loadmusic, loadsound

playsound
Entrada: "sound (word) OR [sound multiple] (list)
Salida: none
Plays a sound, where "sound can be a loaded sound or a 'built-in' one from the list given in the example. If a list is provided, the first value is the name of the sound, the second is a multiplier of the playback frequency (0.5 is half, 2 is double). playsound respects audiowait, which means execution is paused while the sound plays if audiowait is set, which it is by default. To turn audiowait off, use noaudiowait

setattenuation
Entrada: number
Salida: none
Default is 0.3. When a sound is played, the distance between the emitter and receiver (view turtle) is multiplied by the attenuation value to calculate the resultant volume of the sound at the receiver. Basically this makes sounds quieter the farther away the view turtle is from the turtle making the sound. This is a global setting that affects all turtles. See attenuation, attenuate
