MELODY MASTER Page 1 INTRODUCTION Melody Master is a music system for writing, editing and playing one-voice music tunes. Melody Master uses graphics interface which lets you see and edit the music in sheet form. Melody Master is very useful in many ways. You can use it just to listen to and play around with some of included tunes. It will also help you teach yourself (or your children) the beginnings of "music grammar". At last, if you are a programmers or a person who just likes to write Batch Files, this is a great tool for making you own programs "sing". Whatever way you are going to use it, I am sure you will have a lot of fun! Melody Master support 5 note-lengths, 5 rests, around 7 octaves, repeats, sharps, flats, dotted notes, and 6 tempos. The melodies can be saved in special *.MEL files. Melodies can also be transferred into different forms of output files such as BASIC programs, Pascal procedures, C functions, ANSI Music, etc. This package also contain utility "CONVERT" which let you convert BASIC's play-like strings of music into Melody Master *.MEL files. This makes Melody Master compatible with many other music systems. This version also contain Configuration Utility which let you set you own colors, tempos, note-lengths etc. REQUIREMENTS Melody Master requires an IBM PC XT, PS/2, AT, or Clone with Hercules, CGA, MCGA, EGA, VGA, AT&T 6300, or 3270 Graphics adapters, and it will work with a Monochrome (Two Color) or Color monitor and, of course, an internal speaker. GETTING STARTED Type START at your command prompt. You will see a menu of activities. Choose 1 to run Melody Master or 2 to run Melody Master on CGA or MCGA graphics cards. MELODY MASTER Page 2 MUSIC NOTATION After starting the program you will see the special graph used to write music, with a circle in the middle of the center line, and a large S-like figure on the left side. This is the position called B. If a note is placed on, or between a line, it has an alphabetic letter reference, as would a note have if we put it here on this center line. The 5 lines, from top to bottom, are referred to as F,D,B,G, and E. So, if you put a letter on the fourth line from the top, it would be called a G. Notes placed in the 4 spaces between the lines are known as E, C, A, and F. Notice that if you put a note on the top line, then the space between it and the next line, and so on, you would have the following notes E, F, G, A, B, C, D, E, and F. This is the way they are referred to in normal music notation, or the way it would look if you were looking at a piece of sheet music. WRITING AND EDITING MUSIC To place a note, move the large circle to the line or space that you want and press 1 for a whole note, 2 for a half-note, 3 for a quarter-note, 4 for an eighth-note, or 5 for a sixteenth-note. If you wish to have a dotted note, hold down the ALT key and press the number as indicated above (1-5). To add a rest, just hold down the SHIFT key and press 1-5 depending on the duration of the rest you want. After you place your note or rest, the cursor will automatically move you to the next position so you can add another note or rest. Maximum number of notes is 800. To edit your notes, just use the Right and Left arrow keys to move the arrows at the top to the note you want to change. Then move the arrow on the right with the Up and Down arrow keys to the right height of the note. Enter the note that you want there. If the INSERT mode is off it will replace the note that was there. Otherwise, the whole note text will move one position to the right and the note will be inserted. To delete a note, put the arrow at the top of the chart one note to the right of the one you want to delete, and then press the BACKSPACE key to delete the note. If you feel 2 octaves isn't enough, you can use Ctrl-PgUp/Ctrl-PgDn keys. By pressing Ctrl-PgUp you will be 8 notes higher. In this mode when you enter a note, it will have a line at the top. You can Ctrl-PgUp again to get higher or Ctrl-PgDn to get lower. You can see your current octave status at the upper right hand corner. MELODY MASTER Page 3 SUMMARY OF COMMANDS Up, Down - Moves the cursor up and down. Left, Right - Moves the cursor left and right. 1,2,3,4,5 - Adds a note. Shift-1,-2,-3,-4,-5 - Adds a rest. Alt-1,-2,-3,-4,-5 - Adds a dotted note. 1 - Full. 2 - Half. 3 - Quarter. 4 - Eighth. 5 - Sixteenth. Backspace - Delete the note before cursor. Insert - Turn Insert mode On or Off. PgUp/PgDn,Home/End - Go to the Next/Previous pages on the screen. + - Sharp. - - Flat. [,] - Set repeat (reprise). Ctrl-PgUp/Ctrl-PgDn - Change the current octave. Esc - Exit current menu. Alt-X - Quit the program. MELODY MASTER FUNCTIONS F1 - Turn On/Off screen help window. ------------------------------------ You can access the Melody Master Help Utility on the screen while working with Melody Master by pressing F1. Press F1 again to take it away. F2 - Save a melody. ------------------- You can save a melody to disk in the *.MEL file format by pressing F2. After pressing F2 the program will ask you to enter the name of the file. Press ENTER to save it as shown or press BACKSPACE to enter another name WITHOUT an extension. F3 - Load a melody. ------------------- This command opens a window of files you can load. Use Up, Down, PgUp and PgDn keys to select file and than press ENTER. F4 - Play a melody. ------------------- This command plays the current melody. Press ESC to stop. F5 - Tempo. ----------- Select one of 6 tempos. Allegro is the Default. Use the configuration utility to make your own tempos. MELODY MASTER Page 4 F7 - Output files. ------------------ If you are not really good in this computer stuff, you may just skip this section. This operation is used to generate an output ASCII file. This file may contain commands or data for a specific application. After pressing F7, the computer will ask you the type of output file you want to create (Pascal 1, Pascal 2, C, C array, Turbo C, BASIC, data file, SPKR.SYS, ANSI, Standard). Melody Master will write the file on disk in the chosen type. The file will have the name of internal file plus the right extension: .pas, .bas, .c, .spk, .dat, .ans, or .asc. In the case of data files, the procedure is a little bit different (see Data File). Notes for different types of output files: PASCAL 1....... Compilers which have functions: SOUND, DELAY and NOSOUND can be used (for example Turbo Pascal). Output file is a procedure which can be included into your program using a screen editor or directive {$INCLUDE filename}. PASCAL 2....... (New!) Output is a text file containing a constant 2-D array of frequencies and durations. This file should be included in "CONST" section of your program (you will have to move statement "MAX = {n}" and place it BEFORE the array). Use PlayArray procedure (file PLARRAY.PAS) to play the music. This method is probably the most compact one in terms of the size of generated code. C.............. Output file is a C function which can be called from your program. Function tone() (file TONE.C) is used for making sounds (you may have to make some adjustments in tone() for the speed of your PC) C array........ (New!) Output is a text file containing a global 2-D array of frequencies and durations. Use playarray() function (file PLARRAY.C) to play the music. This method is probably the most compact one in terms of the size of generated code. Turbo C........ Output file is Turbo C function which use sound(), delay() and nosound() functions for making sounds. BASIC.......... (Renew!) The output is ASCII BASIC file which contain a number of PLAY functions (with line numbers!). You might want to change tempo and some other initial sittings. MELODY MASTER Page 5 Data File...... If the type of the output file is Data File, the program will ask if you want to create a "new file" of to extend an existed one. A Melody Master Data file is a text file. Each of its lines is one melody. This is the line format: [MelodyName] [frequency of 1st note] [duration of 1st note] [frequency of 2nd note] [duration of 2nd note] ... [CR] [MelodyName] [frequency of 1st note] [duration of 1st note] [frequency of 2nd note] [duration of 2nd note] ... [CR] ... If you work in Pascal or C, you can use already written procedure PLAY which work with Melody Master data files (PLAY.PAS or PLAY.C). You can also use command PLAY.EXE to do the same thing from batch files or other programs. SPKR.SYS....... (New!) The output is an ASCII file which can be used with SPKR.SYS software. SPRK.SYS is an installable device which let you play music in the background (while program is working on something else). The author, Mr. C. J. Dunford, kindly allowed me to include his program into my software package. Refer to SPKR.DOC for more information. SPKR.SYS can play no more than 128 note per file, so if your melody is more than 128 notes long, Melody Master will split it into several files with extensions .spk, .sp2, sp3, sp4 etc. You can use SPKR.SYS in any application or language (even FORTRAN!). ANSI........... (New!) This option will give you an output in ANSI Music format. The format is as shown: ESC[M ...music codes string... ^N If you are a SYSOP you can make "the first singing BBS!". STANDARD....... (New!) Using this option you get a file of BASIC's PLAY command strings. This makes Melody Master compatible with many other music systems such as VMUSIC. (Use CONVERT utility to do the opposite operation). CUSTOMIZING For registered users only! I might customize the output files for a small additional payment or even for free, if your idea sounds interesting. F8 - Play a melody backwards. ------------------------------ This command plays the entire melody backwards (just for fun!). F9 - Delete a melody from the memory. ------------------------------------- This command deletes everything from memory so you can start to write a new melody. F10 - Play current page. ------------------------ The command plays the current page of music on the screen. MELODY MASTER Page 6 MUSIC LIBRARY (*.MEL) Most the music in the library I entered without using music scores but by ear. So there might be some difference between my interpretation and the real thing, sorry. Feel free to include these melodies into your commercial programs as long as you are a registered user. If you wrote or entered a nice music piece you want to share with others you can include it in later versions of Melody Master by contacting me. I will really appreciate it! CONFIGURATION UTILITY Melody Master 1.6 has its own configuration utility (MMCONFIG.EXE) and configuration file (MMCONFIG.PAR). Run MMCONFIG.EXE from the DOS prompt or from START.BAT. If your copy of Melody Master doesn't have this file or somehow you can't run it on your PC, you can edit MMCONFIG.PAR by yourself, see CONFIGURATION FILE. After you have started the Utility a main menu will appear on the screen. Use the Up/Down arrow keys to highlight different options. Use the ENTER key to choose an option. Select "Set Own Colors" to choose screen foreground and background colors for Melody Master. If the colors you have chosen are out-of-range of your monitor, you will not get any notification but Melody Master will use 0 (Black) for the foreground and 1 (Blue) for the background. Select "Set Own Tempos" to add new tempos or change the old ones. In the Tempo Window you will see name of a particular tempo, equal sign and a number. The number is a ratio which is multiplied by the note-length to get the current tempo. To change a tempo, press ENTER on the one you want to change. To add a tempo, press ENTER on the next available "Not Used". Maximum of 16 tempos is allowed. Select "Set Own Lengths" to modify the note-lengths. The lengths are given in milliseconds. Press ENTER to change a note-length. Select "Help On/Off" to choose between immediate and optional help. If you set the immediate help, the help window will appear when you start Melody Master while optional help will activate the help window only when you press F1. The default is immediate. When you have learned the basic Melody Master commands you might want to set it to optional (on slow PCs, help takes a noticeable amount of time). Select "Save & Exit" to quit the program and save changes in MMCONFIG.PAR. If this file didn't exist the program will create it. MELODY MASTER Page 7 CONFIGURATION FILE Configuration file is an ASCII file called MMCONFIG.PAR which contain information about settings for Melody Master. There is another configuration file STANDARD.PAR which contain the initial sittings. If you have accidentally done something wrong, use RENEW.BAT to copy STANDARD.PAR in place of MMCONFIG.PAR. The following information is for those of you who couldn't get the Configuration Utility to work or just don't have it. MMCONFIG.PAR is an ASCII file. This means you can edit it using any word processor which can work with ASCII files (EDLIN, for example). The structure of the config file is as follows: ------------- MMCONFIG.PAR ---------------------- [Foreground Color number] [Background Color number] [Help on/off code] [Full-length] [half] [forth] [eighth] [sixteenth] [Number of Tempos] [Tempo Name] [Tempo Ratio] [Temp Name] [Temp Ratio] ... ------------------------------------------------- Foreground and background colors are numbers as followed: Black - 0 ... White - 15 Immediate help is corresponded with number 1, optional help with number 2. MELODY MASTER Page 8 DESCRIPTION OF FILES START.BAT - Menu batch file. Run This file first!

Your support and comments are my main sources! Shall Melody Master be a programmer's tool, educational game, or something else? It's up to YOU! Here are some ideas I came up with. Let me know if they are good. o Add some more features of the real editor: mark, copy, paste, etc. o Allow placing of sharps and flats at the beginning. Global change of octave. Maybe even global change of key! o Global and local legato / staccato. o More music files. I depend on you folks! My music is mostly classics - nobody likes it anymore! (very pity!) o Print the sheet music on printer. This one is also fully depends on you! I can't yet afford to buy the printing software yet. o THIS ONE IS FOR YOU TO FEEL OUT!!! ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am very grateful to Leon Kamenkovich, a professional musician for consultations and remarks. Also I would like to thank Michael Levin who helped me with drawings. There are also some people I would like to thank for helping me with business of Shareware. I am very grateful to Nelson Ford for writing "Programmer's Guide", great book for marketing Shareware (one can get a copy of it on disk from Public (software) Library). Thanks also goes to Bob Falk who kindly let me (as well as other ASP members) use his text files such as SHR-WARE.DOC. Special thanks to those of you helped (or will help) me by supporting the program and giving comments and new ideas! THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH! MELODY MASTER Page 10 ABOUT MYSELF I was born in Leningrad, U.S.S.R. I started my career as a programmer at the age of 7 when my dad taught me how to use Soviet programming calculator B3-34. It did only about 1/2 operation a second (if it was in a good mood!). Then I switched to the first Soviet PC called BK-0010. It was on the same level with Commodore but used very old and stupid language called FOCAL. I have written a number of programs in FOCAL including LOGO interpreter. In 1989 my whole life has changed because I and my family moved to the U.S. Now I am in high school and I am going to be a computer scientist. Melody Master was one of my first and yet largest program on this type of computer. I started in May of 1989. The job didn't go fast because I worked only on weekends. The first release (v1.5) was in August of 1990. I like three things: eating ice cream, programming, and playing the piano. +============================================================+ |Again, Melody Master is NOT a Public Domain software but| |Shareware and in require registration. | +============================================================+ If you have any questions, comments, or job offers feel free to contact me: Alexei A.
