I could be completely wrong, but I've always assumed many of the PG Music demo songs were created that way. Some of the demo songs even contain very recognizable chord progressions from standards, since that is not copyrightable, with unique melodies they add. The combination IS copyrightable, and they have done so.

But I don't think we know for certain where all those melodies came from.


Hi Matt,
I don't have melodies for most of the demo songs.
I think you have the artist performance demos in mind?
Have you ever played with the melodist?

My hope was to start something like a competition here.
It would be great to hear from you BiaB professionals what you can get out of the Melodist.
Maybe we can use it to uncover program errors and share ways to better deal with BiaB.
Just hearing "good song examples" would help me to recognize the limitations of the melodist.
I have created about 700 songs with the Melodist and was surprised how high the variability of a single melodist can be.
However, I am not able to predict whether further changing my results would not bring an improvement.
A few sample songs would be a kind of benchmark.

So you're all invited to measure your Melodist songs against mine. For those who don't have the xpro4 pak and therefore can't use the _Strong.sty, _Popmhrt.sty is an alternative.

Please become active and surprise me with facts and share your experiences with me.
