Do you want a picture file? I don't use MySpace so I don't know what is needed to "make a name" there. For a picture file, go to any web page that shows musical notes and hold Shift + Command + 4 on your keyboard to take a crop-screenshot. If you just want the same type of note that you are using in your Yahoo Answers profile, go to your profile page and copy-paste from there to MySpace. For making web pages, some coding for musical notes may work in some browser version but you can't depend on it for all browsers so a picture file is your best choice.

For using other programs, such as Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, TextEdit or AppleWorks you should install a font called Bach. Follow the link below. Scroll down to the section "Downloading Information" and click "Macintosh version 3.0 only (download)".

After you open the download, it will make a folder with several files inside. The file called "Bach 30" that has an icon with the Adobe "A" is the actual font. Put it in Library/ Fonts. After it is in the Fonts folder, start the program you want to use and follow the guide to key combinations found in the document "CharMap.DOC (Mac)". If you don't have Word installed on your Mac, share the file with someone who has Word (Mac or Windows) and ask them to save it as a PDF file.

Sometimes the font still doen't make the correct appearing note even following the CharMap.DOC (Mac) key combos. In that case, just set your program to type in the Bach font but copy and paste the note you want from the CharMap.DOC (Mac) page. ; )
