Abstract
The task of developing an assistant composer is a very interesting task, as the composer’s work is complex and creative. Lately there has been done a lot of research, devoted both to systems that help composers to write melodies and systems that generate melodies. In the case of a melody generation, the system offers a composition based on some rules embedded in it according to the musics theory, or obtained by analyzing a large number of compositions with the help of neural networks, while the assistant’s task is to offer its ideas that can help composer with creating the work of music. In this article the basic principle of interaction between the composer and the assistant, who helps with writing the melody, is considered. The melody itself can be conditionally divided into two components: the main melody (the main theme, the main idea of the work), and its accompaniment (the arrangement of the main melody). Accordingly, the composer’s assistant can help with composing both the main melody and its accompaniment. In this article we consider possible problems that the composer may encounter while composing melodies, as well as possible ways of implementing an assistant which will be able to solve them.
