Anyway, yes. If you make enough sacrifices to your god, your god will
inform you of the 5 notes to play to open the drawbridge at the castle
level. That being said, it is much easier to just get some boots or a ring
of levetation and go around the back.

There is one tune, that can be played in order to open the drawbridge to
the Castle. It varies from game to game, and you can find it out by
either getting your god to tell it to you (by praying) or playing
mastermind with the tunes down at the Castle.

I'm pretty sure that there is no drawbrige in Ludios; you somehow have
to get across the water and open a nornal door on the other side.

A *is* H. At least that's what they taught us in high school, A Long
Time Ago In A School Far, Far Away.
</nitpick>
However, NetHack does not consider H to be a note... Just tried that
out.

Actually A *IS* not H. Where Europeans use H as a name of a note, Americans
use B. So with European names C-major is "CDEFGAHC" and with American note
names tha same is "CDEFGABC" .

Are you sure it wasn't b flat? That's what I seem to remember,
anyway.

This is what _my_ seem-to-remember is:
German H = English B natural.
German B = English B flat
(For English, possibly read "Italian", since most of our musical
notation derives from them...)

One correction: H is B in englishspeaking countries...

Erm, no. The situation is slightly, but not really much, like that. In
fact, _most_ Europeans use the original system of CDEFGAB; it was, after
all, invented here. Only in Germany is what the rest of us call B called
H, and B stands for B flat in the normal system. There are historical
reasons for this, having to do with notation and there having been, for
some time, "round" Bs and "square" Bs (or rather, round and square bs;
the square b became the h). Since the Nethack universe is presumably not
German, I would be very surprised if H turned out to be a note there.

Wrong.
It is a specifically *German* use: German "H" means B natural, and
German "B" means B flat.
The reason for this goes right back to the beginning of modern musical
notation, where music was based not on the full scale that we know now, but
on a combination of three hexachords: based on C (C-D-E-F-G-A), F (F-G-A-B
flat-C-D) and G (G-A-B-C-D-E). B flat was denoted by a *round* or "soft" b,
and B natural by a *square* or "hard" b.
The former, the round "b", gave rise to the symbol we now know as a
flat (which is why it looks like a small b), and also to the German name for
the minor key (suffix: -moll, e.g. G-moll for G minor), and to the French
name "bemol" for flat: coming from "b molle", or "soft B", i.e. B flat.
The latter, the square "b", gave rise to the symbol we now know as a
natural, and to the German name for the major key (suffix: -dur, i.e. G-dur,
G major)... the "dur" coming from the French for "hard", as opposed to the
"soft" B which meant B flat.

This is how one of the pieces by J.S. Bach could have B-A-C-H as its
theme. Can't remember which one it is at the moment, though. This
being Usenet, I'm sure someone will let us know. :-)

If memory serves me right, it was an unfinished fugue in "The Art of
the Fugue", and was in fact the last piece he ever wrote.

At your pleasure (and I'm sure the esteemed Mr. Ellis would be just as
willing to comply <g>): several. Most famously, however, the last,
unfinished fugue of the Art of Fugue. The legend that Bach died just
after managing to use his own name as its second theme is both
irrelevant (because he'd done it before in other pieces) and not _quite_
true (because he lived a bit longer, just not long enough to finish the
fugue; he did finish some other pieces in the mean time - a chorale,
IIRC).

The situation is thus in Finland as well. Not that I care, but just
for the record.
