• Similar to the Rhythm Builder, the Melody Builder allows the designation of up to
six melodic patterns for each retrieval. To input a melody, create it in the Melodic
Builder by clicking on the solfege buttons and keep doing so until your pattern is
in the Melody Builder.
• Click “Insert Into Fig. 1,2,3, or 4” to place your melody into the database. Clear
the Melody Builder by selecting the “Clear” button. To delete an already inserted
melodic figure, simply click on the figure and begin deleting melodic characters.
*** If there is a specific melodic symbol needed that is not displayed in the
Melody Builder (such as “low mi” or “high fa”), type directly into the
Melody Builder using the keyboard and then entering it into your melodic
figure as normal.
