The application consists of three major surfaces: The Symbol Repertory surface, the Ancient Greek Music Surface and the Modern Greek Music Surface.

The Symbol Repertory is the container of all Ancient Greek Music (AGM) Symbols used by the application. It holds the Instrumental and the Vocal symbols. While browsing through the symbols the user can see as a tool tip the symbols frequency and the corresponding modern note.

By right-clicking the Edit Ancient Note Dialog Box is invoked. In that dialog box the user can modify the type of the note and the note’s frequency. The AGM Drawing Surface consists of three fields, Vocal Symbols, Instrumental Symbols and Lyrics. The user can either drag’n’drop a symbol from the Symbol Repertory to the corresponding field or one can use the Text Tool (which is located in the Toolbar) to change each field.

.

The Modern Music Surface has two modes, the Vocal Mode and the Instrumental Mode. The user can interact with only one mode at a time.

By right-clicking on a note the Edit Modern Note Dialog Box is invoked where the user can modify the note’s duration and frequency shifting it from double flat to double sharp and in between.

Many notes of AGM have difficulty in their correspondence with their Western music counterparts. Especially in modes like Phrygian and Lydian, a creeping substrate for the development of oriental music systems can be detected. Since no accurate correspondence can be made, the instrument gives its users the flexibility to experiment by assigning different pitch levels, and therefore the fuzziness of scales can be resolved in a trial and error manner by hearing the note.

The user can determinate the features of the file that produce via the Dialog Box "Output Status".

They can configure the final audio output by choosing which musical elements should it contain: instrumental, vocal and lyrics.He can also define the tempo of the song (the default value is 60). By clicking on “Export”, a Microsoft Wave file is created in the current working directory and a message about successful creation appears on the screen. The user can then listen to the file from any audio player on his/her system. The audio file is produced by using Csound’s rendering processes.
