Patent ID: 7053291

Claim:
A method for building a musical melody using a digital computer, the method comprising the acts of: a) selecting a first set of notes from a first displayed list of note sets wherein the first displayed list of note sets is derived by selecting a range parameter of the chromatic scale and a number parameter of total notes to be selected in said range parameter to establish a sequence of notes; and b) creating combinations of the sequences of notes; c) selecting one or more of said combinations of sequence of notes and forming permutations of said combinations; d) selecting one or more permutations of said combinations and placing said permutations into a second displayed list; e) transposing one or more permutations in the second displayed list to all other octaves within the range of a selected musical instrument and then adding said transposed permutations to said second displayed list; f) selecting one or more said permutations and transposed permutations successively to a third displayed list, and concatenating said sets of permutations and transposed permutations on said third displayed list to previously selected sequences of permutations and transposed permutations; and g) evaluating a result of said concatenated sets of permutations and transposed permutations in an audible manner.
