Melody Window Instruments and Tempos    

Each Template, Collection and Melody in the Music Library has its own instrument sound(s) and tempo (speed).

When you import the motive you can choose to keep the instrument sound and tempo of the piece, or to change the piece to match the motive. You do this by checking the boxes in the Motive Library window.

If the 'Load in Library Tempo' box is checked, the tempo (speed) of the piece will change to match the motive. If it is not checked, the motive will change to the speed of the piece.

If the 'Load in Library Instruments' box is checked, incoming motives will keep their instrument sounds. If these sounds are not available in the Instruments Menu, unused instrument sounds in the menu will be replaced by the required sounds. If the 'Load in Library Instruments' box is not checked, the motive instrument sound will change to the equivalent sound currently available in the menu.

 



  Tips and Tricks

Don't forget you can change the instruments available in the Instruments Menu.


When importing a melody, its color may change to the next available color from the color palette. If all available colors are used, colors may repeat. In this case, a line in the Sketch Window will play the melody of the 'same-color melody nearest to the start of the line.

Also, if the 'Load in Library Instruments' button is checked, the incoming motive will keep its instrument sound. The lines in the Sketch Window will not change their sound though, unless the incoming motive causes the instrument menu to update, replacing the sound associated with these strokes with the incoming motives sound.
