DMUS_IO_STYLEPART

The DMUS_IO_STYLEPART structure contains information about a musical part. It is used in the Style Form.

typedef struct _DMUS_IO_STYLEPART {
    DMUS_IO_TIMESIG  timeSig;
    DWORD            dwVariationChoices[32];
    GUID             guidPartID;
    WORD             wNbrMeasures;
    BYTE             bPlayModeFlags;
    BYTE             bInvertUpper;
    BYTE             bInvertLower;
} DMUS_IO_STYLEPART;
 

Members

timeSig

DMUS_IO_TIMESIG structure containing a time signature to override the style's default time signature.

dwVariationChoices

Each word corresponds to one of 32 possible variations. The flags set in each word indicate which types of chord are supported by that variation (see Remarks). The following flags are defined:

DMUS_VARIATIONF_MAJOR

Seven positions in the scale for major chords.

DMUS_VARIATIONF_MINOR

Seven positions in the scale for minor chords.

DMUS_VARIATIONF_OTHER

Seven positions in the scale for other chords.

DMUS_VARIATIONF_ROOT_SCALE

Handles chord roots in the scale.

DMUS_VARIATIONF_ROOT_FLAT

Handles flat chord roots (based on scale notes).

DMUS_VARIATIONF_ROOT_SHARP

Handles sharp chord roots (based on scale notes).

DMUS_VARIATIONF_TYPE_TRIAD

Handles simple chords for triads.

DMUS_VARIATIONF_TYPE_6AND7

Handles simple chords for 6 and 7.

DMUS_VARIATIONF_TYPE_COMPLEX

Handles complex chords.

DMUS_VARIATIONF_DEST_TO1

Handles transitions to 1 chord.

DMUS_VARIATIONF_DEST_TO5

Handles transitions to 5 chord.

DMUS_VARIATIONF_MODES
DMUS_VARIATIONF_IMA25_MODE
DMUS_VARIATIONF_DMUS_MODE

One of these flags is set to indicate the mode. For DirectMusic, this value should always be DMUS_VARIATIONF_DMUS_MODE.

guidPartID

Unique identifier of the part.

wNbrMeasures

Length of the part, in measures.

bPlayModeFlags

Flags to define the play mode. For a list of values, see DMUS_PLAYMODE_FLAGS.

bInvertUpper

Upper limit of inversion.

bInvertLower

Lower limit of inversion.

Remarks

The flags in dwVariationChoices determine the types of chords supported by a given variation in DirectMusic mode. The first seven flags (bits 1-7) are set if the variation supports major chords rooted in scale positions. For example, if bits 1, 2, and 4 are set, the variation supports major chords rooted in the tonic, second, and fourth scale positions. The next seven flags serve the same purpose, but for minor chords, and the following seven flags serve the same purpose for chords that are not major or minor (for example, SUS 4 chords). Bits 22, 23, and 24 are set if the variation supports chords rooted in the scale, chords rooted sharp of scale tones, and chords rooted flat of scale tones, respectively. For example, to support a C# minor chord in the scale of C major, bits 8 (for tonic minor) and 24 (for sharp) need to be set. Bits 25, 26, an 27 handle chords that are triads, 6th or 7th chords, and chords with extensions, respectively. Bits 28 and 29 handle chords that are followed by tonic and dominant chords, respectively.
