“Wrap Around” cell:
This can be specified
for the Bass, Acc1, Acc2, and Acc3 parts. This
allows the pitch to be shifted upward (or
downward) by one octave if the accompani-
ment of that part becomes unnaturally low
(or high). The range of settings is “Org, 1–
12.” With a setting of “Org,” the style will
use its original setting.
For example based on a C chord, a Wrap-
Around setting of “1” would cause the
accompaniment to be shifted downward one
octave when a C# chord was specified. With
a setting of “2,” the accompaniment would
be shifted downward one octave when a “D”
chord was specified.
