Abstract: The present invention implements a method that can most easily be thought of as having three major components. They are creating, building, and maintaining musical licks or melodies. Several unique algorithms along with other application functionality, including MIDI, make up these components. A brief description of each component follows. Creating Melodies—This component implements a set of algorithms for the purpose of forming melodic-parts. They are a) combinations and permutations, b) Lickparts, and c) scales which are created through the use of partitions and permutations. Each algorithm provides a unique approach to forming melodic-parts, each yielding different results. Building Melodies—Identifies a) scales or modes for harmonic usage of melodic-parts when the user has not previously designated a particular use, b) allows the user to combine melodic-parts, and also c) concatenate those melodic-parts to form longer new melodies.
