Alert script language is a scripting language that allows you to compose alerts on your device. With alert script language, you can compose any alert where one note is being sounded at any one time. Just as the human voice can't produce two notes at the same time, your device can only play one note at a time.
Alert script language supports octaves, note values, rests, sharps, flats, and some special effects.
The Basics
To understand alert script language, think of a piano keyboard.
In alert script language, each note is represented by the corresponding
CDEFGABC
Formatting Your Alert Script Language Text
When you create an alert using alert script language, you can use spaces to improve the readability of the text. When your Accompli 009 plays an alert script language alert, it ignores all spaces.
Although the examples in this documentation use spaces to improve the readability, keep in mind that you don't have to use them when you create your own alerts.
Using Multiple Octaves
In alert script language, each octave is designated with a number from 1 to 8, for a total of eight octaves. The octave that starts with middle C has an octave number of 4. To use a note that is outside of the current octave, you must type the new octave number before the letter. When the device plays the alert, it will continue playing in the same octave until it encounters a different octave number.
If you do not specify an octave number at the beginning of your alert, the device will use octave number 5 by default.
