Hi,
to me you will waste your time :slight_smile:. Of course you can translate every note of this score to be played in sonic pi but it’s a hard work and not very very funny. And even you get there, you may use the piano synth of sonic pi, you won’t reach the level of a real pianist.
but before Debussy, you can practice with a more small tune. Frère Jacques to see how sonic pi is working.
@robin.newman made the job (Frere Jaques with processing visualisation) so if i keep only the notes part, this should work

nf=[:c4,:d4,:e4,:c4]*2+[:e4,:f4,:g4]*2+[:g4,:a4,:g4,:f4,:e4,:c4]*2+[:c4,:g3,:c4]*2
df=[1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,1,1,2,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,1,1,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,1,1,1,1,2,1,1,2]
use_bpm 180
with_fx :reverb,room: 0.8,mix: 0.6 do #add reverb for interest

live_loop :notes do #first part
    use_synth :pulse #differnt synth for each part
    use_bpm 180
    nv = nf.ring.tick #select each note in turn
    rel=df.ring.look #select corresponding duration
    play nv,release: rel,amp: 0.2 #play note with release set by duration
    sleep df.ring.look #sleep for duration of note
  end
end

have fun !
