Print Page - Five 2 Go

A friend of mine showed me how to make a 5/4 song out of a 4/4 song in PGMusic's RealBand. This is my first attempt at that process.

What an opportunity to get a MMA promo in :) For those you unfamiliar with the power of MMA ... here's a little example which uses a "Truncate" command to shorten bars and, later, to make code more readable, uses a subroutine to make do it in four lines :)

Code:

// Simple example to play a 4/4
// groove in 5/4 time ... silly
// 'cause it's easy enough to create
// the 5/4 to start :)

Tempo 100
Groove NiteJazz

// All we do is create 1/4 bars followed by 4/4
Truncate 1
C

Truncate 1
G

Truncate 1
Dm
Dm
Truncate 1
C
C

// That works, but it a bit ugly. How about using a subroutine. This
// produces the same sequences.

DefCall To54 chord
  Truncate 1
  $Chord
  $Chord
EndDefCall

Call To54 C
Call To54 G
Call To54 Dm
Call To54 C

Oh, and I like your example as well :)
