The music skill is what the bard class is based upon.  Using ancient
techniques, an experienced bard can weave a magical song which can have a
multitude of effects, and can affect all who hear it.

Bards can play up to 21 different musical notes, A B C D E F G,
A# B# C# D# E# F# G# (sharp notes) and Ab Bb Cb Eb Fb Gb (flat notes).  A
Bard will play a sequence of these notes, up to 7 notes long, to compose
each different 'song'.  While the musical notation may appear similar to
that used in the real world, it actually expresses some notes and sounds
which do not exist except in the Materia Magica universe.

Each note has 7 'weights', depending on in which order out of the seven
maximum notes they are played.  The main notes - A B C D E F G - have
greater weight than sharps and flats.

Different notes can be used to achieve the same effects - the vibratory
effect of the music is the same in these cases.
