Abstract
New rules were sought for the Melody Generator II,
a knowledge based system that composes music. The
system lacked good rules for continuation of a melody,
so several features were selected to investigate how the
melodies could continue. The features - harmony, contour
and rhythm - were manipulated such that they
could be repeated or varied. We found that it was best
to repeat the rhythm over the course of the melody and
to vary the harmony when the contour was repeated.
