Hello All,
Is it possible to select two adjacent containers or the last four bars of container A and container B for harmonization? If there are key changes, lets say from container A to B, the harmonizing will follow this key changes right?
I would appreciate the input.
:-)

Hi Eduardo
You are free in how many container sections you want to use for a chord container
If you know at forehand how many chords are involved in the keychance than you could divide the chord container in a startkey container/pivotchord container/ targetkey container
Note: i like to see a improvement here in the chord progression editor by Conitone with a chord progression design tool.
How do you divide a container in smaller containers? ( BEWARE: you cannot divide a rootcontainer in sections )
So suppose you start with a rootcontainer .. you can add to the rootcontainer a harmonycontainer
With command "new container"you get a empty container and pull this out ( set the the grid quantization on 1 )
Select now first the new added container and position the songpointer in the measureline and use the command "divide" ..now the container is split.
With this you can divide any container in container sections .. so you harmony progression can also be divided than
But for this you have to make first a "harmony container" filled with a chordprogression
A harmony container can me made by first adding a empty container under the rootcontainer and than dragging the harmony parameter on top of the empty container..it gets a circle sign!( a visual sign tht you are dealing with a chord container )
Now you have a harmony container what can be divided as you like and you can experiment with different chordprogression in extra chord containers you can make.
Idea: Keep them together in a groupcontainer (nested container) and pull it out the groupcontainer for use somewhere else in the arrangement ..or keep them vertical lined up in the groupcontainer and exchance them with the up/down cursor to listen to different progression.

You can add an empty container that spans the desired passage in your composition and used that for harmonization. That container may overlap other containers in any way.
After you finished, you can leave the progression in there, or if you want to get rid of the container, copy/paste it where you need it and remove the container again.

The harmonizer can only process areas ruled by one key.
If you know the point of key change already, go and add one container before and one after and process these individually.
