ABSTRACT:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for entering or editing musical note data. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a user input selecting a scale; receiving a user input of notes; determining whether each note is in the scale; and for each note that is not, automatically replacing the note with a corrected note. In another aspect, a method includes displaying a segment of music; receiving user input selecting a scale, multiple notes from the displayed music, and a pitch displacement; displacing the notes; and for each displaced note that is not in the scale, automatically replacing the displaced note with a corrected note. In another aspect, a method includes receiving user inputs selecting multiple scales and a non-overlapping period of time for each scale; receiving notes, each for a particular period; and correcting the notes as necessary according to the scale for the period.
