Music Trainer 1.0 Customized Tests

To get to the Customize Screen, click Tools>Customize Tests on the main menu or press the F8 button on your keyboard. You will be presented with the following Screen.

The Treeview on the right represents all 7 Test Groups, the individual Tests under each group, and the Test Items that make up each Test. 
The 12 sets of dropdown boxes and checkboxes represent the Sound Items collection for each test item. When you click on a Test Item in the Treeview the Sound Items that make up that Test Item will be displayed on the right.
Each Test Item can consist of 12 Sound Items. Each Sound item can consist of 1 to 7 notes played simultaneously. For example in the image above the Unison Test Item of the Simple Test contains 2 sound items. Each Sound Item consists of a C note played by itself. You can double click on the Test Item in the Treeview to play the Sound Items.
If you Right Click on a Test or a Test Item, you will be presented with the following menu.
Edit
  • This will allow you to change the name displayed for a Test  or Test Item. It will highlight the item in the Treeview for editing, just like in Windows Explorer.
Add New Test
  • This will allow you to add a new Test to the currently selected Test Group. By default it will be added with the name New Test 1. Right Click and choose edit to change the name to whatever name you would like for your new Test.
Add New Test Item
  • This will allow you to add a new Test Item to the currently selected Test. You can add Test Items to existing Tests or to custom Tests that you have added. The Test Item will be added with the name New Test Item 1. Once again Right Click on it and choose Edit to change the name to the name that you would like for your new Test Item.
  • Once you have added a new Test Item and renamed it you will need to add Sound Items for your Test Item. Each Row of dropdown boxes and check boxes represent one Sound Item. You can have up to 12 Sound Items for each Test Item. You can have up to 7 notes played simultaneously for each Sound Item. Select the notes from the dropdown for each Sound Item. The checkbox raises the note by one octave.
  • All Sound Items should be based on the key of C. You can transpose them to any other key using the MIDI options panel on the main screen.
  • Double click on your new Test Item to hear you Sound Items as you make changes.
Delete Selected Item
  • This will delete the selected item. If a Test is currently selected, it will delete the Test and all the Test Items that belong to that test. If a Test Item is selected, it will delete just the Test Item.
