Major cadences for minor tonality songs (melodic dictation)

Post by KostaC »

Hello, when the tonic is set to play a cadence in the factory songs it plays the relative major if the song is in minor. For example the first song "till we met again" starts in a minor key but the cadence gives it's relative major tonality which is wrong.

Hi

Thank you for pointing this out.

We have just looked into this. It seems like the bug is that all the factory songs are listed as being major, even when they are minor (like your example). This is of course a bug that we will fix ASAP. However because of the holidays, it might be delayed a bit.

Until then it is possible for you to change it yourself. If you open the melody database, you can change the songs that should be minor to major. So if you want to play with "till we met again" you can change it to minor in the database, and it will play the cadence in minor as well.

The bug is noted, and will be fixed as soon as possible!
Thank you for helping us improve our software!
