Obbligato Algorithm
[Style] -> [Harmony] ->[Obbligato] -> [Range]
Obbligato might be considered as sub melody. The way of generating obbligato is very similar to  the way of generating main melody.
The following values can be selected as obbligato range.
Same as Melody Creates obbligato by using the same method and algorithm as you have specified for the melody. This value does not mean the notes of obbligato are copied from principal melody. This value means only the method and algorithm are the same as those of principal melody.
Custom Opens [ Melody Structure ] dialog box in order to specify the method for creating obbligato.
This selection enables defining method algorithm as the same way of melody.
