single note question – answer combinations
Level options are grouped on respective pages but some of them can be disabled when inappropriate for specific situations. In the example above single note questions/answers are used so melodies and rhythms are blocked.
When melodies are questions and answers they can be composed from random notes in selected range or from a few notes selected on the score or imported from files in musicXML format.
Rhythms in melody
To enable rhythms in melodies composed from random notes, some rhythmic groups have to be selected and at least one of time signatures.
Accidentals in current level
Also accidentals and key signatures can be precisely configured. Keep in mind that selecting key signature(s) to use in the level will force using corresponding accidental(s) as well. Also when key signatures are in use along with imported melodies – they will be transposed accordingly to randomized key signature in respective questions.
