Melodic Search

This is a general topic, but in order to find tunes:

 

Here's a new (at least to me) website which at least will spare you to type ABC sequences for your Google search - you can just "play" the notes on a virtual keyboard - works a treat:

This is great, Wolf. Thank you.

 

Here's another interesting one. You don't even have to know the notes, just whether they are higher or lower than the one before.

 

And here's one I've been using for years (decades?) for classical music.

I've always used tunedb. A bit long in the tooth now perhaps (it's been around for 15 years) and no keyboard but it does the same kind of thing, including the up down down up thing.

How about a great online app that allows you to write out and play back your arrangements. Even change the key for you.

Any recommendations?

I use Finale. It's not online but local on your hard drive.
