INTRODUCTION
Melody Master is a music system that is designed for writing,
editing, and playing one-part melodies. The program uses a
graphics interface that lets you view and edit the music in
sheet form. Melody Master can be used in a variety of ways.
You can listen to the more than one hundred tunes that are
included with the program. You can experiment with changing
the melodies that are included or write your own tunes.
Melody Master will assist you in teaching yourself (or your
children) the principles of music notation and structure in
an enjoyable way. For programmers or people who enjoy
configuring their PCs, Melody Master is an excellent tool for
making your programs or batch files "sing". In whatever way
you use it, Melody Master is easy to use, functional,
educational, and a lot of fun!
Melody Master employs sharps, flats, dotted notes, and repeats,
provides four musical styles, seven note lengths, seven rests,
approximately seven octaves, and can use up to 16 configurable
tempos.
Melodies can be saved into the program's *.MEL files. Or, the
output files can be converted and exported for use in BASIC,
Pascal, C, ANSI Music, Batch Files, Device Drivers, etc. It
is possible to use some of the output files to play music in
background - while your program is running!
Two conversion utilities allow you to convert PIANOMAN's
*.MUS files and BASIC's PLAY statements into Melody Master's
*.MEL files. Thus, Melody Master is easily compatible with
many of the popular music systems for PCs.
REQUIREMENTS
Melody Master operates on an IBM PCs and compatible computers
equipped with a CGA, EGA, VGA, or Hercules graph
