Embellisher Settings
The settings contain a number of parameters that affect the embellishment. They can be turned on and off, and can
be set with certain percentage strength. The settings are:
Humanize: The velocities, durations (legato), and timing of the notes are humanized. The original velocities etc. of
the notes are ignored. This is useful when the melody has been entered in a stiff manner.
Adjust Octave: The octave of the Melody is changed to the best octave for the current Melody instrument. For
example, if the instrument were a Piccolo the octave would be raised to the best range for a piccolo. There is an
additional setting for the octave in the “More” settings dialog.
Anticipations: An anticipated note is played early, or “ahead of the beat,” as in this example.
Unembellished notes
Embellishment with anticipations on beat 1 and 3
Less Anticipations: This is the opposite of anticipation. This finds notes that are anticipated, and “embellishes”
them by playing them later (on the beat).
Grace Notes: The grace notes are brief notes played just before, and a semi-tone below the original note. The grace
notes intentionally don't show on the notation, so that it will remain easily readable. They can be heard.
Doubled Notes: Melody notes are doubled with the same pitch.

notes.

semitone or scale tones above and below.

after example, the C
