JS Bach (IMHO, the first true 'music hacker'), placed his 'sig' in many of his pieces of music - in German notation, 'H' is 'B' and 'B' is a B-flat, so Bb A C B = B A C H. Here's my attempt at a tribute...

                   @n=
                 map{[($_
                >4&&$_<14
               &&$_%2?'-':
               ' ')x 56]}(
              0..16      );
              l($_       ,5
              ,8)       for
              (32       ,55
              ,56       );p
              (5       ,2,
               13     ,'X')
                ;    d(1,5,
                "XXX");d(
               16,3,"XXX"
              );n(20,9);
            n(27,10);n
          (37,8);n(45
         ,9);for $k
       (6,10){l(14 ,
      $k,2);for(0   ,
     1){c($k+$_     ,
    13-$_,"/")      ;c
   ($k+1,13         +(
  2*$_),"_"          )}}c(int
  (2*cos          ($_*0.39)+11),
 int(4*          sin($_*0.39)+4),
"X")for         (-5..8);l(17,8,1);c(

     split(//,$_[2]);} sub l
          {p(@_,"|");} sub n

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
