Music Composer can help automate writing pop songs in three modes. It outputs the lyrics text file, the asc2mid text file, a meta music file and a MIDI music file.

1. Manual entry of form, lyrics, melody, harmony, instruments, parts that the melody plays in and parts that the harmony plays in.

2. Random generation of the creative choices.

3. Mind reading mode.

Please read the following instructions on how to install the project on your computer for writing music.

• Please download and install SWI-Prolog for your machine athttps://www.swi-prolog.org/build/.

• Requires asc2mid (http://www.archduke.org/midi/, compile with a C compiler before running.

gcc asc2mid.c -o asc2mid

• Call application "asc2mid").

• Optional: Search for and download backdated version 6.0.5 of GarageBand and AlterEgo singing voice synthesis plug-in for old GarageBand for Mac or on Windows (https://www.plogue.com/downloads.html).

Downloadthis repository, theList Prolog Interpreter Repository and theMind Reader Repository.

• Download theLPPM Repository:

mkdir GitHubcd GitHub/git clone https://github.com/luciangreen/List-Prolog-Package-Manager.gitcd List-Prolog-Package-Managerswipl['lppm'].lppm_install("luciangreen","Music-Composer").../halt.

• In Shell:cd Music-Composerswipl

• Enter the following to enter creative choices manually:['mindreadtestmusiccomposer-unusual-4-userinput'].

• Enter the following to enter creative choices with rhythm manually:['mindreadtestmusiccomposer-unusual-4-userinput-rhythm'].

• Note: In Rhythm entry mode, enter a maximum of n notes per lyric line, up to n melody and harmony notes, and n rhythm notes. The melody is truncated to the length of the vocal lyric line and the maximum vocal lyric line in vocal-less lines.

• Enter the following to generate 3-note progressions randomly:['mindreadtestmusiccomposer-unusual-3'].

• Enter the following to generate 4-note progressions randomly:['mindreadtestmusiccomposer-unusual-4'].

• Before running texttobr-based mind reader, think of two radio buttons put on recordings, put through with prayer, nut and bolt, quantum box prayer 1, 1, 0.5 cm and 1, 1, 0.5 cm.

• Follow instructions inhttps://github.com/luciangreen/Text-to-Breasonings/blob/master/Instructions_for_Using_texttobr(2).pl.txt when using texttobr, texttobr2 or mind reader to avoid medical problems.

• Please follow instructions ininit.txt to initialise any new mind-reading algorithms.

• Enter the following todetailedly mind-read songs with 4-note progressions:['mindreadtestmusiccomposer-unusual-4-mr-tree.pl'].

• Note: Please leave 1 hour between mind-reading songs for the best results.

• Running the algorithmTo generate the song:sectest0(Form1,Lyrics,Melody,Harmony,MelodyParts,HarmonyParts,Vocalstubinstrument,Song1).

To output the possible chord progressions from one note to another:versechorussoloprogression1451('C','D',Progression),writeln1(Progression).versechorussoloprogression1564('C','D',Progression),writeln1(Progression).versechorussoloprogression1645('C','D',Progression),writeln1(Progression).classicalcomposition('C','D',Progression),writeln1(Progression).popclassicalcomposition('C','D',Progression),writeln1(Progression).

• Separatesong***.txt files into stem files for each instrument (saved in thestems folder) by placing the data files in thedata_files folder, and entering['data_to_stems.pl']. anddata_to_stems..

If:

• you have converted the data files to stem files and need.mid files, or
• the filesong***.txt is produced but the.mid file is not:

• Place the data files or stems in thestems folder, enter['data_to_stems.pl']. andstems_to_mid. and the.mid files will be saved in themid folder.

• Place*_meta.txt files in themeta folder, enter['meta2mid.pl']. andmeta2mid. and the*lyrics.txt,*.mid and*.txt files will be saved in theMusic-Composer folder.
• Runmeta2mid_r. instead ofmeta2mid. to ask for a song-wide rhythm.

• To redefine a meta file's rhythm, select it at the end of the file...:

• 

• Wilb","ney",["writes","on"],["Ven","ess"]]]]],[genre,["anthem"]],[rhythm,[["0","NT","3/4",1,60],["3/4","NT","1/4",2,80],["1","NT","3/4",3,60],["1+3/4","NT","1/4",4,80],["2","NT","3/4",5,60],["2+3/4","NT","1/4",6,80],["3","NT","3/4",7,60],["3+3/4","NT","1/4",8,80]]]]

• And delete it:

• 

• [genre,["anthem"]]]

• Then runmeta2mid_r as described above.

Mind Reader is currently not configured to display screens and accurately mind read decisions. It detects vague, not exact thoughts.

• If necessary, repeat the "arem" mantra all the time while the mind reading computation is running to ensure the best results.
