Clearly, due to the needs of musical timing and beat, the code timing has been modified to make it musically acceptable, it's certainly close, but definitely more music than morse. <way off tangent, nit picking overload> given that a timing unit = T dit = T dah = 3T space between dit/dah = T space between characters = 3T space between words = 7T If you open something like GarageBand, which effectively prevents any musical nuance an plays only timing perfection, and enter: dah T dah 3T dah T dah T dah 3T dit T dah T dit 3T dit T dit T dit T 3T dit 3T dah T dah 3T dah T dah T dah 3T dit T dah T dit 3T dit T dit T dit T 3T dit = moresemorse and play it back, you'll soon hear the difference between the theme song and true morse. If, as I did, you then add a simple drum beat, you soon appreciate how quickly morse gets out of sync. It's worse if you do 'morse morse' as opposed to 'morsemorse'. A precussionist can take a drum, triangle, wood block and play a beat that sounds musical. Use the same instrument to send morse code and it immediately doesn't sound like music, but sounds like.... morse.
