Transposition
Prior to generating vocals, the basic melody of the guide (piano) track is copied to a new track, which is transposed to a suitable range since the initial melody is played in a higher range, than what can be reasonably sung.

A new mode can be chosen or else the original mode, as determined by the guide track can be used, albeit with the possibility of using a different rhythm, depending on the style of the section and the form in which vocal lines are rendered.
The mode is changed so melodies can be sung in a suitable range, which is achieved by playing notes in a different (usually lower) mode, with the left hand performing relative to the basses and the right hand performing relative to the guitars.
The notation of each part is adjusted using the Key Editor, to ensure that as notes are truncated, they remain within beat boundaries, however the tempo of the piece determines the actual duration of each note, since each cell has a fixed size.
Automation of modulation and expression controllers, is done to create resonance and dynamics in sound sources, in addition to velocity and volume, which is achieved via MIDI control change messages, as opposed to note messages.
Upon completion of piano parts, chords are written, taking account of guitar progressions and bass lines. In addition, harmonies are also composed, which of themselves use intervals to provide musicality beyond what instruments alone can produce.
