A.What does this program do ?
     -From a Song file with a single melody track (.MID type 1 files) this 
     program  tries to produce an accompaniment for guitar, bass, drums,...
     and the list of accords for each measure in the song.

     -You can select style for accompaniment. Some Styles are provided 
     here for example.
     -You can modify accord list as You would like.
     -You can Save accord list for use later.

     -Output .Mid file can be played directly on any Midi Player.

B.Notes for use:
