Main features: The program represents graphically the structure of melody being created. Boundaries of motives, phrases and sentences are clearly shown. The program provides the following methods of motive development: sequence, variation, repetition, extraction, inversion, new rhythm and so on. Chord Editor includes all frequently used triads, seventh chords and their inversions. Additionally, Chord Editor suggests the only chords that are in accord with the logic of functional motion. It makes it easy to create the right harmonic progression. User can choose the arrangement of chord inserted in a motive. Only those arrangements are suggested that are in accord with voice-leading rules. Motive Editor makes it possible to insert motive notes with the one click of a mouse. User 'draws' notes: note pitch by mouse cursor vertical move, note duration by horizontal cursor move. Original method of cursor delay controls exactly the note pitch and duration. Moreover, there is traditional 'Piano Roll' editor. Motive Editor allows also to choose non-chord tones by controlling how non-chord tones appear and resolve.
