Partial answer

The notes

The dots and dashes above and below the notes are . -. ---- .-. -.- .-. Ths is Morse code, but the letter separations are not in place. The only complete English word that can be made from that is .-. --- -.-. -.- . -, or ROCKET. This follows the theme jafe has spotted: The Houston Rockets are an NBA team.

There are half and quarter notes, fifteen in total. They form a Baconian cipher with I/J and U/V treated as the same letter. The half notes are B, the quarter notes are A. (The ♩=65 is a hint: 65 is the ASCII code of A.) This decodes to NET. (Brooklyn Nets)

The ♭'s seem to be another way of encoding. It's tempting to use Bacon again with normal notes as Aare just a scale, but some of them have a flat notes as Bsymbol. Again, butjafe has found that these are the middle letternotes of the F minor key. That is not a valid Bacon encoding. If we use the AB patternliteral key: It can be used as a Vigenère key toon the title, the first word is "Sad", but it's gibberish after thatwhich yields: "Now You Has Blank". Hm.
