MMA 1.7d

I've uploaded a new MMA for testing at:

The biggest "new thing" is the new Voicing Mode "KEY". This attempts to center chords around the tonic of the key signature. Seems to be working okay, but I would love comments from users before casting this into cement.

Also, I'd like to ask a favor! If anyone has the time to look though the source files and see if they can figure out the "Voicing Mode Optimal" and find the bug(s) which make the Move/Dir options not work ... well let me know. I've spent too much time trying to decode this. I fear I dropped a line or 2 several versions back

Springtime, and the MMA is coming up everywhere!

I've been playing a bit more with Voicing Mode=Key and find it quite pleasing. If you want to try it with an existing library file, it's quite easy. Here's a snippet from a song I was working on earlier using a SlowBolero Groove:

Code:

Tempo 105
Keysig  Eb

Groove SlowBoleroIntro
AllGrooves Chord Voicing Mode=Key   

1        Eb
2        Dm
3        Cm
4        B&7

Repeat
Groove SlowBolero

5        Eb      /   EbM7
6       Eb6      /  Edim7
7       Bb7
8         /      z

Groove SlowBoleroPlus

9        Fm      /   FmM7
10      Fm7      /    Bb+
11       Eb
12        /

Notice how the AllGrooves command overrides ALL of the existing Chord Voicing directives in the lib file. They were set to Chord Voicing=Optimal.

The important thing to remember with AllGrooves is that by setting "Groove anything" ALL the grooves from the file containing "anything" is loaded into memory ... and the AllGrooves command is applied to ALL the in-memory grooves.

Hope this helps.
