Question

write out the code so I can cut and paste it into an editor please

Modify a JythonMusic program.        Use JEM Help>>JythonMusic docs (online), also on JHU Safari Books Online / ProQuest        Also use the JythonMusic API and references (online)               References               Appendix A: MIDI Constants               Appendix B: Music Library Functions               Appendix C: GUI Library Functions               Appendix D: Other Functions 1.     Change randomCircles.py into randomSquares.py        Modify randomCircles.py               - put comments in your code pointing out your modifications               - name it randomSquares.py               - use squres instead of circles               - make display area the full screen               - play a random MIDI note every time a square is generated
