The Melodist Jukebox will continuously

generate new songs, and play them in

jukebox fashion. You can set the range

of Melodists to include in the jukebox

(using the From…To settings) or keep

the Jukebox on the same Melodist by de-

selecting “Change Melodists.” To

Launch the Melodist Jukebox, press

[Juke Songs Now] (option+j).

Normally you'd want the Melodist to be written to the Melody track. If you'd

The favorites button allows you to pick a Melodist that

you've used recently.

Editing Melodists

If you'd like to create your own Melodists, or

permanently change the settings of existing

Melodists, press the[Edit…] button to launch the

Melodist Maker, which is described elsewhere in

detail.

elements (chords, melody etc.), or any part of the song until you “get it

mode, so that it is continually generating and playing new songs in

succession. By displaying the Melody track in Notation, you can then

sight-read along with the Melody. Since the melodies are unique, this is the
