Then, the idea is how to comp this with BiaB. No preconceptions, here, just melody studies, really.

THere's always hope.

You can make anything work. 
But shifting the beat like you do in this tune gives the feeling the G in the third bar is being held to long. Paste the following ABC notation onto the text editor control on this page and you can see and hear the difference:
X: 1
T: Ed's Tune
M: 4/4
L: 1/4
K: C
Q: 120
E/2F/2 | G G G/2F/2 E | c2 G2 | E/2F/2 G G G/2F/2 | E D2 ||
X: 1
T: Ed's Tune Altered
M: 4/4
L: 1/4
K: C
Q: 120
E/2F/2 | G G G/2F/2 E | c2 G E/2F/2 | G G G/2F/2 | E D3 ||

Cuny,
This is a really neat web page. I have bookmarked it. Cool.
I don't think one sounds better than the other though.
They are just two different ideas.
Re: Any hope for something like this: - 12/23/18 04:24 PM
Ed,
There are a LOT of reasons why this is a great idea.
ONE--you are writing out your melodies. More than most people do. Now when you step up to the mic, you won't sing G G G G G G G.
TWO--If you SING to a melody track (like viola, for example) you will always be better, because you will hit the note you wanted to hit, or see where you are off.
THREE--if you use pitch adjustment tools that can snap to midi (like Waves Tune and many others), hey, the job is done.
I applaud you for merely writing out your melodies like this in the first place.
I think it is a GREAT idea.
A song without a melody is nothing.

A song without a melody is called a rhythm track!
Running and ducking for cover.

Mario,
Right, which means it is not a song yet, so that means we both are right???
Right???
Merry Christmas!!! Here's to both being right!!
A first for the forum! Let there be rejoicing!!!!!
Re: Any hope for something like this: - 12/23/18 08:10 PM
David,
Yes of course we are both right!
I pray that you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year.

Thanks for the comments, encouragement, and David Cuny, for the great tip, admittedly something I have to step up to.
-------
Some years ago, I was listening, intently, to a early heavy metal piece, Def Leppard probably, and suddenly being struck that the bass and power chord players were pounding out a Wagner melody. To put it modestly, the revelation did not occur without a degree of residual trauma. I recovered.
Thanks David and Mario for the encouragement. I learned something about resolving a melody. Got to a certain point, then that one last bar took forever.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
