...This can be done by whistling a theme, playing it on a virtual piano keyboard, tapping the rhythm on the computer keyboard, or entering the Parsons code. Anybody can modify the collection of melodies and enter MIDI files, bitmaps with sheet music (possibly generated by the Musipedia server after entering Lilypond or abc source code), lyrics or some text about the piece, and last, but not least, the melodic contours as Parsons Code.

Musipedia uses the "Melodyhound" melody search engine.
