Ok, you knew it was comin... the dreaded ntt,ntr question...

From what I can tell NTR just says "do voice leading or don't" and apparently ANY of the NTTs can have ntr=y/n and onbass=y/n

Onbass meaning "if you're playing a slash chord stomp on every note in this channel with the slash bass note preserving only the octave".

So I've done some stats of all the channels in all the .STY files I've currently got (not a ton, but a good sampling)

I'm seeing this:
Code:
count  NTT      bass NTR       
11666  off                     
22675  off           y         
   10  off      y              
   25  off      y    y         
 5800  melo                    
  822  melo          y         
 5222  melo     y              
   41  melo     y    y         
 9812  chrd                    
21855  chrd          y         
   25  chrd     y              
 7164  meloMin                 
   41  meloMin       y         
   12  meloMin  y              
 4256  harmMin                 
    4  harmMin       y         
    4  harmMin  y              
 2213  meloMin5                
    2  meloMin5      y         
    6  natrMin                 
   18  dorn5                   
   10  dorn5    y

So NTT is off(bypass), melody(which turns to bass when onbass=y), and chord, plus some weirder scales which seem melody-ish

So I "get" what ntr/voice leading does
And what onbass does

But...

1) what's the diff between melody and chord?
2) how come there's an off(bypass) with voiceLeading AND without?
does one do no transposing at all and the other transpose only to the chord root(not adjusting any chordals)?
3) I don't seem to have any styles with guitar strums/arpeggios
can somebody email me one, please? stephen.hazel@gmail.com

thanks much,

...Steve
