Version History
Version 1 whoa that took a while....
Version 1.1 what? I messed up a couple of notes, how did I miss those? it was the
 slow section as well. oh well I fixed them. also worked on the printing problem I
 had with Speed of Light.
Version 1.2 Whoops, forgot to add the band and song title at the top.
Version 1.3 Changed A* to A#.
Version 1.4 Fixed mulitple mistakes (typos or something, they were pretty dumb)
