GENERAL TOOLBAR FOR SEGMENT
Project segments added to the Projects component timeline can be used to create musical sections with
different algorithms, meter, harmony, etc. This tab is only present when editing a project segment:



Segment Length is the event length in measures.
Ending Beats sets a beat duration for the final note in the section.
Segment Scale is the default scale for the section.
METER TOOLBAR



Time Signature establishes the basic meter in terms of number of beats per measure and the
note value equal to one beat. (2 = half-note beat, 4 = quarter note beat, 8 = eighth note beat,
etc.)
Beat Grouping sets the default grouping for time signatures having multiple potential beat
groupings, e.g. the 5 beats in ‘5/4’ can be either grouped as ‘2 + 3’ or ‘3 +2’.
Subdivisor establishes a base-duration unit for the segment. During the composition process
the base-duration is the ‘pulse- rate’ of Composition Engine messages, and all values for a
Track’s ’duration’ and ‘duration-multipliers’ variables are generated and applied to this
base-duration to generate note durations.
Base-duration = beat duration / subdivisor.
A Tracks ‘subdivisor’ variable can be used to further subdivide generated note durations .
