1. Pitch position

Generally, the possibility of a pitch position-planning exists. That is, at which time a composition rule goes with pitch position into a narrowness or wideness, it can be pretended.


It is necessary to mark the corresponding bars and voices and, to click at the button:   Then, the boxed symbols indicate how far the bass can move downward as well as "has to move". Through moving the boxed symbols upward or downward , the pitch position narrows as well as stretch in the construction of following composition rule.


2. Dissonances

With composition rules, that admit a dissonance-planning, you can change the planned tension at this counting beat in the bar through double-click on a boxed symbol (see above). (The tension, according to composition rule, corresponds to the quantity of certain dissonances and is shown in numeric characters.


In order to generate the box-symbols, it is necessary like with the pitch position-planning  to mark the corresponding bars and voices and, to click at the button..


Consequently, you can pretend the climax of a phrase or melody through increase as well as decline the quantity of dissonances.


4. Voice-leadership


You can pretend, how the moves of individual voices should be generated, how very much the composition rule should get the bearings by the pre-determined entered chords and how much easily playable the individual voices must become like .
