In
contrast
to
Melody's
"variation"
function
that inverts
chordal
tones, the Note
Editor’s play

follows the
traditional

definition
of the
term,
and
changes
the triadic
chord
expressed.
The two types of play

together
on the Phrase, and
because
Phrase and Block
information
is
stored
separately,
you can
edit by hand the

sequences
in the full Block display. You
might wish to

some notes in the last Block bar, for
example.
Since any

edits to Phrases will

engage

to Block displays last. You can use

notes
you
hear
derive
from
the
combined
pitch-determining
data of Keys-
with-Offsets,
Scales, and Tonics. Melody displays have a
range
of
two octaves plus one step,
beginning
and
topping
out with the pitch
at Scale step 5. Even when
transposed,
Melodies
do not exceed this
range,
which by
default
is
maximized.
The Melody Sound window
