My public library had a few (three?) Books with indexes of melodies for identification. One was filled with national anthems, one with classical themes IIRC. So the idea is you whistle a tune, write an asterix for the first note and the u, d or r for each consecutive note depending on weather it the melody moves up, down or repeats tje previous note. Any melodi can be identified with this method, if you take a long enough string into consideration.

This was in the age of dead trees, a digital, online index would be much easier to maintain and search.

There used to be a website your could type in a series of notes, and it would
search for a match - I can't seem to find it now :(


There still is this one for played notes - might be worth a try.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
