Force Open Position
This option forces all of the guitar voicings to the open position. The exception is when the Melody notes are so
high that they can't be played using open position voicings. If the Melody is in a high range, and you want a “forced
open position” you should likely transpose the Melody to a lower octave prior to generating the solo.
The settings for Note Duration thresholds to get a chord refer to how long a note must be before a chord will be
generated. (Quarter note = 120 ticks.)
Looking at the settings above these would be interpreted as follows:
- If a note occurs and it is the “First Note of a New Chord” and the note is not followed by another note for at
least 50 ticks (120 ticks = 1 quarter note), then a chord will get voiced 90% of the time.
- If a note occurs (not the first note of a chord), that is on “Beat 1 of a bar,” and the note is not followed by
another note for at least 50 ticks (120 ticks = 1 quarter note) then a chord will get voiced 90% of the time.
