Something to do with the melody (6th D, 6th B, 5th B, etc...)? - but F wouldn't fit :doubt:

Nope. 88 is all you need.

Re: Cryptomania
 

a piano has 88 keys

:nod: Count :)

Re: Cryptomania

Re: Cryptomania
 

I've got 42 51 39 44 49 45 37.
Anyway, Caesar-shifting around revealed only FOCHMIA and LUINSOG as halfways proper (but useless) words...

Re: Cryptomania
 

:frown: Those numbers aren't right. But Vivi's are very close.

How did you get those numbers?

Re: Cryptomania
 

... how did you get ...
Enumerated keyboard keys, starting with 1=A2.

Ok, white keys only: 25 30 23 26 29 27 22 (-> CHADGEZ or GLEHKID)

Re: Cryptomania
 

:no:

Re: Cryptomania
 

If I interpret D6 as d^6, I get the exact same numbers as vivi - the sequence I've shown is basically off (lower) by 3 octaves = 36.
Now, in which way are those 'very close'? Aren't their relative differences correct?
I suppose the black keys are to be taken into account, right?

[edit]
Using A0 as the first key, we get
D6 - 66 - B
B6 - 75 - K
B5 - 63 - ?
E6 - 68 - D
A6 - 73 - I
F6 - 69 - E
A5 - 61 - =
