<h1>Playing Music</h1>

VocalEasel uses the MMA Musical MIDI Accompaniment system to
|
||
|
|
automatically generate accompaniments for rehearsal.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<blockquote><strong>
|
||
|
|
While I find automatic accompaniments a very valuable rehearsal tool, make
|
||
|
|
sure you don't train yourself too much into one particular style of
|
||
|
|
accompaniment. Your live piano player will NOT care to hear "But that's
|
||
|
|
how VocalEasel played it!"
|
||
|
|
</strong></blockquote>

<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Click the <i>Play</i> icon to start the accompaniment.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Click the <i>Stop</i> icon to stop the accompaniment.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Change the tempo using the <i>Tempo</i> control.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Change the accompaniment style using the <i>Groove</i> popup menu.
|
||
|
|
<i>Swing</i> and <i>Bossa Nova</i> are present, the <i>Select...</i> menu
|
||
|
|
item will bring up a large number of other styles to choose from. <b>Currently, not all styles will work for all meters</b>.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>To save your MIDI accompaniment for use in another program, e.g.
|
||
|
|
GarageBand, use the <i>Save a Copy As...</i> menu item and choose
|
||
|
|
<i>MIDI</i> from the <i>File Format</i> popup menu.
