A.What does this program do?
    -From a Song file with a single melody track (.MID type 1 files) this program 
    tries to produce an accompaniment for guitar, bass, drums,... and the list of 
    accords for each measure in the song.

    -You can select one or more styles to make an accompaniment. Some styles included
    for example.
    -You can create and save User Styles, which are some combinations of included styles 
    with your own individual instruments settings.
    -You can modify accord list as You would like.
    -You can save accord list for use later.

    -Output .mid file can be played directly on any Midi Player.

B.Notes for use:
    1.Input .mid file must be the MIDI file of type 1. Melody tunes must be put on
    the first Track and set to the first Midi Channel.

    2.The 'Timesignature' and 'Keysignature' must be set correctly with music score. 
    Last note and the Keysignature will be used by this program to find out the Game 
    (Key) of The Music. This program assumes there is no game (key) change in the 
    input song.

    3.You can use this program to import melody tunes from any midi file (*.mid) or 
    karaoke file (*.kar), or You can use any Midi Editor (Encore, Finale,...) to create 
    your own melody, and then save it as midi file of type 1 (to import into this 
    program latter).

    4.Program can run in Normal, Simple, Complex, Mixing modes. The results are 
    different, so You can try to get best result. Usually Complex modes produce a 
    good output.

    5.The results are:
    - Standard MIDI file: Melody + Accompaniment
    - List of accords for each measure

    6.This program is tested on Creative Labs "Sound Blaster Live", using 21MB GM 
    SoundFont. You may use any Soft-Wavetable driver if you have not a hardware 
    wavetable.
