This takes a melody, and converts it to Guitar Channels 11 to 16. When it encounters a
chord, it will determine the fret position that it's most possible to play that chord with.
Otherwise, if it’s a single note, it will play it at the current position at the guitar neck. If
you want to convert an existing melody to a customized Guitar part, this command is a
good starting point, and you can edit the track further to achieve a better result.
Utilities
A Utilities sub-menu has utility functions to eliminate note overlap and transpose the
Melody.
Eliminate Note Overlap – Preserve Double Stops / Eliminate Note Overlap –
Remove Double Stops eliminates note overlap while double stops are either preserved or
eliminated.
Transpose One Octave DOWN / Transpose One Octave UP transposes the Melody
part one octave in either direction. This is often useful if the Melody instrument has been
changed. Transposing can be done while the song plays.
Transpose Waltz Melody & Soloist to 4/4
If you have a song with a 3/4 time signature, you can instantly hear it as a 4/4 feel.
To use this feature, load in any song in 3/4 time. Then load in a 4/4 style. If there’s a
Melody (or Soloist) present, you’ll be asked if it’s OK to change the Melody from 3/4 to
4/4. If you click YES to that, the transformation will occur and you can listen to the
Melody in 4/4 time.
If you click NO to the offer to transform the Melody, you can still convert it later by
choosing Melody | Edit | Utilities | Transform 3/4 to 4/4. Note that if you choose the
manual command, the Melody prior to transformation should have 6 beats before bar 1
beat 1 of the Melody begins (as it normally would in a 3/4 style)
