Several buttons in Melody Editor will help you to work with the melody:
You can see it in the following example:
Initial melody:
Cucaratcha:d=8,o=1,b=200:p, g, g, g, 4c2, p, e2, e2, g, g, g, 4c2, p, e2, 4e2, p, 4c2, c2, b, b, a, a, 2g, p, g, g, g, 4b, p, d2, d2, g, g, g, 4b, p, d2, 4d2, p, 4g2, a2, g2, f2, e2, d2, 2c2
Deoptimize melody:
Cucaratcha:d=8,o=1,b=200:8p, 8g1, 8g1, 8g1, 4c2, 8p, 8e2, 8e2, 8g1, 8g1, 8g1, 4c2, 8p, 8e2, 4e2, 8p, 4c2, 8c2, 8b1, 8b1, 8a1, 8a1, 2g1, 8p, 8g1, 8g1, 8g1, 4b1, 8p, 8d2, 8d2, 8g1, 8g1, 8g1, 4b1, 8p, 8d2, 4d2, 8p, 4g2, 8a2, 8g2, 8f2, 8e2, 8d2, 2c2
Program displayed each note of a melody completely, ignoring default settings.
Optimize melody:
Cucaratcha:d=8,o=1,b=200:p, g, g, g, 4c2, p, e2, e2, g, g, g, 4c2, p, e2, 4e2, p, 4c2, c2, b, b, a, a, 2g, p, g, g, g, 4b, p, d2, d2, g, g, g, 4b, p, d2, 4d2, p, 4g2, a2, g2, f2, e2, d2, 2c2
Reduces the size of a melody, selecting optimum values by default for duration and an octave
Raise octave:
Cucaratcha:d=8,o=1,b=200:p, g, g, g, 4c3, p, e3, e3, g, g, g, 4c3, p, e3, 4e3, p, 4c3, c3, b, b, a, a, 2g, p, g, g, g, 4b, p, d3, d3, g, g, g, 4b, p, d3, 4d3, p, 4g3, a3, g3, f3, e3, d3, 2c3
The program scanned the melody and lifted octave for each note, if there was such possibility.
Lower octave:
Cucaratcha:d=8,o=1,b=200:p, g0, g0, g0, 4c, p, e, e, g0, g0, g0, 4c, p, e, 4e, p, 4c, c, b0, b0, a0, a0, 2g0, p, g0, g0, g0, 4b0, p, d, d, g0, g0, g0, 4b0, p, d, 4d, p, 4g, a, g, f, e, d, 2c
The program scanned the melody and lower octave for each note, if there was such possibility.
Raise duration:
Cucaratcha:d=8,o=1,b=200:p, g, g, g, 2c2, p, e2, e2, g, g, g, 2c2, p, e2, 2e2, p, 2c2, c2, b, b, a, a, 1g, p, g, g, g, 2b, p, d2, d2, g, g, g, 2b, p, d2, 2d2, p, 2g2, a2, g2, f2, e2, d2, 1c2
Increases each note duration for one step. Slowing down sounding effect.
Low duration
:
Cucaratcha:d=8,o=1,b=200:p, g, g, g, 8c2, p, e2, e2, g, g, g, 8c2, p, e2, 8e2, p, 8c2, c2, b, b, a, a, 4g, p, g, g, g, 8b, p, d2, d2, g, g, g, 8b, p, d2, 8d2, p, 8g2, a2, g2, f2, e2, d2, 4c2
Decreases each note duration for one step. Speeding-up sounding effect.
All this changes operates on all melody entirely.
