HarmonyBuilder Basic Description

HarmonyBuilder (Basic) was developed to be a music score writer. Unlike any other notation software, it focuses primarily on playback flexibility, allowing you to move easily between notes and chords, and hear every detail in the process. This makes it ideal as a music composition tool that will effectively substitute for the piano keyboard. Key-related 4-part chords can be entered with one button click, and notes can be adjusted by simply nudging them. You'll be amazed how it will inspire you to create intricate 4-part harmony, and to fashion your harmonies into exciting rhythms, using the note split and meld buttons. Main features: Four Parts: Why does HarmonyBuilder (Basic) deal with at most 4 parts? First, because the essence of all tonal music compositions can be expressed both melodically and harmonically within the confines of 4 parts. Second, because this architectural decision gives HarmonyBuilder (Basic) the advantage of presenting the user with a score in which the 4 parts - Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass - have already been configured for easy and fast manipulation. With just one click, rests can be converted to notes or chords; notes can be readily split into two or three smaller notes, or melded into larger notes, or simply reconverted to rests. Five Navigation Modes: HarmonyBuilder (Basic) provides 5 independent navigation modes, apart from the classic “playback” mode at a selected tempo. Every note that is heard is visually reinforced with orange coloring. In the 2 "snapshot" modes, this coloration feature highlights the subtle harmonies of inner parts, providing the user with a valuable analysis tool. Furthermore, the 4 parts are all completely independent, with separate volume and instrument controls. Two Scrolling Modes: Cinematic Scrolling: Innovative auto-scrolling technology enables the active notes to automatically and smoothly scroll to the center of the screen, exactly where the user wants them. This frees the user from awkward clicking and dragging operations, because the notes being heard and edited are always at center stage! Line-flip Scrolling: This is the classic viewing method whereby as the cursor reaches the far right of the screen, a fresh line of music is instantly replaced on the screen. This provides a stationary score, as an alternative to the moving score of cinematic scrolling, and is also faster to use during speed editing. Mouse-free Composing and Editing: Great effort has been made to reduce mouse-clicking to a minimum. Most of the commands for note navigation, editing, and playback can be executed with simple keyboard shortcuts or with the four arrow keys, and will allow for extensive “mouse-free” editing.
