About Tone Clock

Version:

The aim of this application is to give the contemporary composer/improviser an easy to use tool to create tone clock sheets.

Besides the many examples, an empty tone clock sheet can be used draw your own harmonies, save your sheet and load your sheet at another time.

Feel free to experiment with the preferences (menu "Tone Clock" -> preferences) in order to create a sheet that suites your needs and requirements and to display the name/pitch class code of your harmony.

Drag a harmony up/down in order to transpose it. Also, check out right click on an hour to find several options like toggling the root note and changing the note naming system of your sheet.

Any suggestions? You can reach me at info(at)wimdijkgraaf(dot)com.

Kind regards, Wim Dijkgraaf
