Once you launch the Melodist, you will see the Generate Chords and/or
Melody dialog. Let's explore the dialog screen.
The left of the screen has the list of the Melodists.
In the example above, the “Swing Tenor” is selected. This Melodist will
generate intro, chords, melody harmony, style, and solos using the group of
settings preset with this Melodist. For example, “Swing Tenor” uses “Jazz Easy
Style” (J~EASY.STY) and a Tenor Sax patch, and the Melody and Chord
settings in the Melody Maker.
Scroll down the list, and pick a Melodist that you'd like to use. Once you have
chosen a Melodist, examine the group of settings called “Chords and/or
Melody.”
