Now, after loading in the MIDI files, you'd normally have a look at these settings above, to see if they seem
reasonable for your MIDI file. If not, you can change the settings. For example, if you knew that the Melody
channel was on channel 3, you could override the Chord Wizard settings.
Once you have done that, you should choose one of the Presets, to quickly put the settings to the type of song that
we are trying to interpret.
Chord Options
When you choose one of these presets, it makes a number of settings in the Chord Options section of the dialog.
You can override them in this dialog.
Chord Resolution
This is the minimum number of beats for a chord. For example, if you set it to “2 beats” then the Chord Wizard will
never attempt to come up with different chords that are only a beat apart. If you have a song that has a short section
that does include chords every beat, you can redo that section of the song with a “1 beat” resolution. (Default = 2
beats)
Include Slash Chords
If set, the Chord Wizard will include “slash chords” like F7/A or Cm/G.
