Yep, mnrvovrfc explained what appears to be hanging values.
# is used to sharp a note (slightly above the standard) and - is used to flat a note (slightly below the standard).
So "c#8" means C sharp played at eighth note length.

You may have learned in music class that the lines of a staff using treble clef , EGBDF, stands for "Every Good Boy Does Fine"
and in between the lines is FACE - spelling "face". These all equate to a piano's white keys. Black keys on the piano are slightly above or below the standard notes (depending on which key the music is written in). On a violin (the instrument I'm classically trained on) the 2 high strings equate to A and E on the treble clef staff.
When I was a kid the PLAY command was included in all versions of BASIC on the TRS-80 lines of computers. I could type my sheet music in and then play along during my violin practice sessions. The PLAY command was awesome because I could easily change the tempo as I progressed. My mother (also a violinist) would play the 2nd violin part. The Pachelbel Canon was one of our favorites -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlprozGcs80
