A.What does this program do ?
     -From a Song file with a single melody track (.MID type 1 files) this 
     program  tries to produce an accompaniment for guitar, bass, drums,...
     and the list of accords for each measure in the song.

     -You can select style for accompaniment. Some Styles are provided 
     here for example.
     -You can modify accord list as You would like.
     -You can Save accord list for use later.

     -Output .Mid file can be played directly on any Midi Player.

B.Notes for use:
    1.Input .MID file must be the MIDI file of type 1. 
    This program is designed to load an input midi file created by 
    "Midisoft Studio 3.1" for Windows. Melody notes must be put on 
    the first Track and set to the first Midi Channel.

    2.The 'Timesignature' and 'Keysignature' must be set corectly with
    music score. Last note and the Keysignature will be used by this program 
    to find out the Gamme (Key) of The Music.
    This program assumes there is no gamme (key) change in the input song.

    3.In case your midi has been created by another midi editor, you 
    can import the melody using internal Melody Importer/Converter. 
    The internal Melody Importer helps you to get melody from any 
    *.mid or *.kar files.

    4.Program can run in Normal, Simple, Complex, Mixing modes.
    The results are differents, so You can try to get best result.
    Usually Complex modes produce a good output.
        - If You change "Melody" options, You must run again '1.Load',
    '2.Proceed' and '3.Make Output'.
        - If You change "Accords" options, You must run again '2.Proceed'
    and '3.Make Output'.
        - If You change Style or Instrument's parameters, You must run
    again '3.Make Output'.

    5.The results are:
        - Standard MIDI file: Melody + Accompaniment
        - List of accords for each measure

    6.This program is tested on Creative Labs "Sound Blaster Live! Value",
    using 8MB SoundFont. You may use any Soft-Wavetable driver if you have not
