Hey Mario, by "key work," do you mean the harmonic progressions, or . . . ? I've found that even when the Melodist generates a forgettable melody, it almost always cranks out a nice progression.

Taking a few measures is a great idea. Sometimes that's all it takes for me also to write a complete song is just a few good measures -- preferably complete with melody cool

Next time you have a spare 10 or 15 minutes, just for the heck of it, I want you to sit down with BiaB, set up the Melodist where it does everything, and then just keep hitting that Melodist key and see if it doesn't come up with something that might just surprise you. I have lost count, but I probably have close to twenty "keeper" tunes that I've generated by just continuing to hit the melodist key.

Best,
Michael
