When the "Color Melodic 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 pitch of the preceding note.
The melodic interval formed by a note with respect to the note preceding plus the harmonic interval formed between a note's pitch and the root of its accompanying chord determines a note's emotional complexion within a composition. Since a melodic interval that is expanded by adding any number of octave intervals to it has a similar melodic quality to the smaller melodic interval which fits within the span of an octave. we reuse color asignments for intervals larger than an octave, trusting that the larger interval sized can be sensed by noticing the enormous vertical distance between two succeeding notes. The melodic 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 Octave: black b9 (b9th): brown 9 (9th): green b10 (b10th):dark blue 10 (10th): light blue 11 (11th): purple #11 (#11th): magenta 12 (12th): red b13 (b13th): blue-green 13 (13th): tan #13 (augmented 13th) :gold 14 (14th): silver-blue 15 (15th): double octave
