Program Description:
 
COMPOSER turns the row of keys from "A" to ":" into a keyboard that allows
the user to make single-voice tunes (one note at a time). Function keys
define commands and menus for adjusting tempo, making notes sharp or flat,
editing, loading, saving, changing from piano to organ voices, and changing
octaves. The edit menu allows placement of notes and rests, and allows for
the variation of note timing from 1/16 note to 4 whole notes (the length of
time a note is sustained).
 
Tunes can saved to a file whose default title is SONGS.DTA but can also be
a Turbo Pascal(tm) library file (.LIB). Up to 40 tunes can be saved to this
file which can then be accessed through a of other programs included.
LISTSONG.COM sends a list of the titles in SONGS.DTA to a printer for
hard-copy output. TUNES.COM will read the tunes in SONGS.DTA and can be
used in a batch file to play tunes in sequence. SONG.BAT is an example of
how this works.
 
TRBOTUNES.SYS can be included in Turbo Pascal(tm) applications and will
call the contents of TRBOTUNES.LIB.
 
COMPOSER.COM requires an IBM PC or compatible with 256K Ram, and an IBM CGA
or compatible color graphics adapter. TRBOTUNE.SYS requires Turbo Pascal
and a Songs library created with COMPOSER. TUNES.COM requires a Songs
library created with COMPOSER and named SONGS.DTA.
