Motorola ringtone composer

I have an old motorola hand phone with fascinating ringtone composer function. However there is no information, even on internet about how to compose a music there. Here I try to share my experiment on how to compose a notation in it. I'm sorry for my music knowledge.
The grammar is the following
ABDE
A= *Number, eg *1, 1st octave. This is optional
B= # sign, 1/2 ascending
C= Note Letter, abcdefg = ordinary note, r = stop note
D= Number, length of note, 0 is the longest, default is 2
example: *4#c0
We can also use up/down button to get all the notes, but only in standar length (there should be correct term for this). To change the length we must change it manually.

Happy composing!

Here is an example from star wars opening theme
b1b1b1g2r4*5d2b1
g2r4*5f2b0*5#f1*
5#f1*5#f1*5#g2r4
*5d2b1g2r4*5d2b0
