The genes of beauty

Melody's genetic code comes directly from its parents, Rhythm and Harmony. Merely by examining the Melody itself, it is possible with this code to establish the Rhythm and the Harmony which are at its source.

The best way to end up with a well-made Melody is to start with a well-made Chord-Pattern, which already has a Rhythmic structure.
