Variables

From MusiCAD

After calculating the melody, a number of variables were assigned a value. This value can be tested in a condition in layout templates, which in turn can be linked to buttons and/or key combinations. Variables can also be used in template functions such as MESSAGE, REQUIRE and CONFIRM.
