When the "Color Harmonic Intervals" setting is selected in the Workscore Composer
webpage, each note in the score is colored to indicate the distance
of that note's pitch from the root of it's accompanying chord.
The harmonic interval formed by a note above a chord along with its distance from the previous note in a melody (the note's melodic interval) determines a note's emotional complexion within a composition. Since a pitch can be transposed any number of octaves without changing its harmonic meaning there are 12 possible harmonic interval names that can be assigned to a note's pitch. The harmonic intervals are color coded as follows: Root: black m2 (minor 2nd): brown M2 (Major 2nd): green m3 (minor 3rd):dark blue M3 (Major 3rd): light blue P4 (Perfect 4th): purple #4 (augmented 4th): magenta P5 (Perfect 5th): red m6 (minor 6th): blue-green M6 (Major 6th): tan m7 (minor 7th) :gold M7 (Major 7th): silver-blue
