// Demo file to show effects of different volume/ratio settings Print Print This file generates a few chords and solo notes. Print Not much in the way of nice music, but the idea Print is to demo how different volume combinations work. Print Print For all of this we are going to use a CHORD pattern Print simply defined as 4 quarter notes. Begin Chord // No Volume ... use default of "M" Sequence {1 1 90 * 4} // simple 4 quarters Voice JazzGuitar Octave 5 Articulate 80 End Print Print First off, just pay a bar of C chord. Print C BeatAdjust 1 Print Now, apply a crescendo from PP to FF over 4 bars Print Cresc pp ff 4 Repeat Print Volume == $_Volume C RepeatEnd 4 BeatAdjust 1 Print Print Now, we add a solo line. This is just a bit of mary's lamb Print To be way too cute, we include the volume settings as lyric events.
