It turns out the icons on {{SERVERNAME}} are mostly named File:Activity-''activityname''.svg , in this case File:Activity-tamtammini.svg. |

should work to load the icon (icons default to 55px so there's no need for <tt>|55px</tt>. |

These icons on w.l.o are old but many activity icons haven't changed for a while. |

Unfortunately, the icon is not on {{SERVERNAME}}. It's at http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/images/addon_icon/4061/1324481894 , but that's too small. I'll figure out how to pull the icon from the activity. |

Someone could make redirects if the naming ''ActivityName''-icon.svg is really important. |

Here's the old icon for TamTam Mini ("TamTam Jam"?) |

Images to be added (Done! with resizing help from Cherry Withers... thanks!)
- If you are proof-reading and testing this page, please do not try to edit it directly. The wikiHTML here is very complex due to difficult formatting needed for the scale and songs.
- Please put all of your comments and suggestions on this discussion page and I can go in and make any needed changes.
- This file may be too large for your browser. If it is, please report that hardware and browser you are using. I would prefer not to divide the file if possible.
Thanks for helping! Caryl
Great stuff Caryl. Just one mistake: it's "Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Si Do" ("Si" instead of "Ti").
Appears both in text and on the keyboard image.
Lionel.
Thanks Lionel... as I mention in my text, "Ti" becomes "Si" in many countries. I used "Ti" because of the line in the "Do-Re-Mi" song in "Sound of Music" ... "Ti a drink that goes with jam and bread..." Also, my first users of the material were children in a rural elementary school in Montana. I hope folks will read the text that clarifies this! Maybe I should use italics or something?
Lionel In some countries like India we use "si" maybe a UK standard.
But yes "ti" made popular with the movie.
Don't know where my last paras went. will redo.
Caryl
A few questions/comments:
- Should we refer to this Tam Tam Suit as "Music composition and synthesis". Will help in searches.
- Should we say which version of Tam Tam Eg currently we are on version 62
(hopefully works OK with XO1 and XO 1.5)that we have in India. - Should we stick to the Tam Tam Suit sequence as in Sugar Labs? Especially since ref your manual we need to have Tam Tam Edit to be able to use any of the others.
- Does this manual assume that we have some understanding of basic music terminology eg. Scales...not something on fish or something we use to measure/weigh things. :)
Since these are wiki and print manuals maybe we can give a link to music terms like Scales. Major, Minor, octave, Treble., Bass etc
needs activity icon(s)
It turns out the icons on wiki.laptop.org are mostly named File:Activity-activityname.svg , in this case File:Activity-tamtammini.svg.
These icons on w.l.o are old but many activity icons haven't changed for a while.
Someone could make redirects if the naming ActivityName-icon.svg is really important.
