Field: music editing and arranging. Problem: Good practice in the writing of harmony has been encapsulated in an extensive set of formal rules. It is a difficult and tedious mental task to check a piece for compliance. However, pieces so arranged almost always sound pleasing. Solution: in the best Implementation, an editor and an arranger are integrated, sharing the rules of harmony. The arranger arranges a melody in accordance with the rules using an iterative technique of advance and retreat by trial and error. At difficulties, the arranger compromises preferences, to produce an optimum solution. The editor facilitates: preparation and refinement of the melody; submission of the melody to the arranger; the presentation of the arrangement; the analysis of other music by the rules. Uses: the automated creation of an arrangement complying with the rules; the automated analysis of existing or manually composed pieces.
