EarMaster plays a melodic phrase and you have to give the answer as a
- mirrored phrase
- reversed phrase
- mirrored reversed phrase
- transposed phrase
- phrase with doubled note values
- phrase with halved note values
For a more complex answer this possibilities could be combined.
For example:
Give the answer with doubled note values, mirrored and transposed in major third.

Mirrored, reversed, doubled duration values, well Thomas, that's heavy 
. I never really got to this part in my studies of music theory, but I wander if you really have it on advanced level of music education, and what good does it do in playing real music? Sometimes I practiced adding thirds below or above the phrase, but I never really tried to play something in reversed direction, only played few song backwards in order to hear the hidden (satanic) message, such as "Money for nothing" (Sultan of Swing), where they say "Look at that, look at that", which played backwards results in "Here we go, here we go". Try it yourself (you can reverse it in Sound Forge), first time I heard it I could hardly believe t myself. Anyway, I think it's a great idea to add these new functions in EarMaster...

It' s not so far from music live than you believe, Bojan. I have a music book from my school time (perhaps 8 - 10th class of gymnasium). Let me recite a few sentences:
Now we build the reversed phrase of the beginning of the choral and mirror it. This mirrored phrase we put to C-Major and notate it in shorter note values. So we get the beginning of the "Melodie" (No. 1 from "Albums für die Jugend" from R. Schuhmann), who will develope from this motif.
I think these are basic elements for developing a melody. You can find examples by J. S. Bach, Kanonische Veränderungen from Vom Himmel hoch BWV 769 or Arnold Schönberg, founder of the 12 tone technique. Here you can find mirrored, reversed and mirrored reversed rows.
And last but not least it is a wonderful brain training.

I agree with you, Thomas, that it is a great training for the brain. I only wish I had such exercises when I was learning music... And I would love to see them in EarMaster. 
It's a pity we won't see them 'till the EM6 is released.
