Workflow Tutorials
Three complete tasks, start to finish. Where the other tutorials teach a concept, these walk a job through to a result you keep.
In this section
Building a Module Library
How the shipped library is actually organised (six sections, 79 modules), how to get your own work into it — mainly by selecting notes and pressing Copy to Modules — and how to back the whole layout up.
Exploring Intervals
A systematic pass through the 46 interval modules that ship: ratios, cents, limit families, inversions and the harmonic series. Most of the bookkeeping is already done for you by the library's search and its icons.
Microtonal Experiments
Structured listening: TET comparison, neutral and septimal intervals, Bohlen–Pierce, commas and quarter tones. Includes the audio settings you must change first, or the experiments are worthless.
Prerequisites
You should be able to create a note, write an expression, and drag a module out of the library bar. If not, start with the beginner tutorials.
Three things that changed
If you last used RMT Compose a while ago, these three will save you the most time:
Copy to Modules. Select notes, press one button, and the selection becomes a library module in the Custom section — rooted at its earliest note, dependency tree intact. This replaces the old Save Module → rename → upload dance entirely.
The library search. The magnifier at the left of the library bar's toolbar filters all 79 modules by name, ratio, cents, family or tag. Naming conventions are no longer how you find things.
Undo/Redo everywhere. Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y, buttons in the "+" menu, and buttons in the library bar's own toolbar. Every module-level action is undoable, including Load Module and importing a module by drag-and-drop. "Save frequently" is no longer the survival strategy it once was.
