2025-12-29: I have restored the wiki to a backup from the end of November. Starting in September 2025, accesses went form the 800MB-1.2GB range per month to 26GB in September, 42GB in October, and 70GB in November with most accesses originating from China. As soon as I realized what was causing all the access problems in November, I shut it down (it had reached 36GB by then) behind a password/login screen. The database had gotten corrupted, and I tried a restore from just before the spike in access but that didn't work. Thus, end of November. I still have the other daily backups so if there were any important additions in December, let me know and maybe they can be recovered. - Allen H.

Lyra, the ever popular music editor that lets you compose music on a graphics music staff with a mouse.

Lyra can be used to play music on any MIDI synthesizer or through your TV or monitor speaker.

You don't need an expensive interface, just a simple cable you can easily make is all that is needed. You an easily modify the supplied music files to create room filling sound from your synthesizer. Or even make its sound like a 8 piece band playing!

Transcribing from sheet music is easy, you don't need to be a musician. lf you own a CoCo (any version with at least 64K memory), you can't afford to pass up this opportunity.
