+    """
+    Convert a melody string to triple of note values,
+    note durations and note sustain values.
+
+    A melody string could look something like this:
+
+    >>> s = "0123"
+
+    which translates to ``Cut the bar in four fourth notes,
+    whith values [ 0, 1, 2, 3].''
+
+    Another example would be
+
+    >>> s = "0.1.2.3."
+
+    which translates to ``Cut the bar in eight eigths,
+    but play only four eights notes, each of which is followed
+    by an eigth rest. Note values like above.``
+
+    Notes can, however, be sustained like so:
+
+    >>> s = "0=1.2.3."
+
+    which is similar to the last case, besides the fact that
+    the first note will not be followed by a rest but be 
+    sustained until the second note is played. The following 
+    string would yield the same melody
+
+    >>> s = "0===1=..2=..3=.."
+
+    Note that in this example, one character corresponds to 
+    a 16th note.
+
+    This can become quite messy to overlook, so one may add
+    the "|" character as a visual aid. The function will
+    ignore this character. The string
+
+    >>> s = "0===|1=..|2=..|3=.."
+
+    would therefore yield the same result as the last two
+    strings.
+
+    Final example: melody strings can begin with a rest:
+
+    >>> s = ".0=.|1...|2...|3..."
+
+
+    Parameters
+    ==========
+    s : str
+        The melody string.
+    n_bars : int, default = 1
+        The number of bars this melody string is supposed to span.
+    base_duration : float, default = 4
+        The duration of a single bar (in beats).
+    verbose : bool, default = False
+        Be chatty.
+
+    Returns
+    =======
+    notes : list of int
+        The notes to play.
+    durs : list of float
+        The corresponding note durations.
+    suss : list of float
+        The corresponding note sustain values.
