Abstract
A system, program code, and method for music composition, comprising: displaying a composition object according to a first value, wherein the first value includes a musical event; displaying a first and second indicator, wherein the first and second indicator describes the first value; selecting the composition object; graphically altering the first indicator; changing the first value to a second value; and graphically altering the second indicator. The first indicator comprises the position of the composition object relative to a displayed virtual instrument. The second indicator is not keyed to shapes, rather comprises a color. The method and system further incorporates a graphical user interface including a virtual music instrument; the virtual music instrument includes a plurality of virtual keys, each key corresponding to a key on a performance module.
