Hey ladies and gents,
So this is my first project, thank you to the boarders that helped me get started. It's a program designed to give a list of usable musical chords to play once the user has selected a root note and a mode.
If anybody is well versed enough in musical theory to confirm that the program is accurate, that feedback would be awesome. Otherwise, enjoy.

Ok, I can do that. I'll get back to you later (within 24 hours).
Curiously, just yesterday, I started working on creating MIDI files from a simple music generator, written in Euphoria of course.

If your interested in music here is a older program that
david cuny has on his Web Site that might help you to develop
some further programs.
