Build on the basics with more advanced techniques.
In This Section
Chaining Notes with Dependencies
Learn how to create musical relationships between notes using expressions that reference other notes. Build dynamic compositions where changes cascade through your music.
Working with Octaves
Master octave manipulation using frequency ratios and the power operation. Learn techniques for building octave-spanning chords and bringing notes into comfortable ranges.
Measure-Based Timing
Work with tempo, beats, and measures to create rhythmically structured compositions. Learn the formulas for converting between beats and seconds.
