  3. Compare your graphic representation with the above version along with a screenshot of your graphic notation. What are the similarities and differences between the two versions? What formatting options might or will make it look similar (particularly size, linebreaks).

  4. Create a title to a musical example in the Humdrum encoding, such as the following example:
    Guido-example.gif
    (Hint: go look at the Humdrum reference record documentation ). Where does the title go in VHV? Go to the File→Save as PDF option in the upper left menu to generate a PDF. What is different about the title and the page formatting?
  5. Extra Credit: Input a melody of your choice in VHV and (send encoding and screenshot).

  6. Extra Credit: Write a program that automatically generates a melody and outputs into the Humdrum Notation format.
