+RandomChords 1.4.1
+
+The purpose of the program is to generate random chords to inspire music creation.
+Run the executable and you will be asked if you want to configure parameters or generate a chord with
+the default parameters.
+Input "c" to configure or Enter for default.
+
+- Parameters -
+(Progression? - This option is available after the first chord. Read "Progression" paragraph below.)
+How many clashes allowed? - Input a number from 0 to 13 to tell the program how many clashes (notes at one
+semitone distance) the chord should contain. The default value is 0.
+How many repeated notes allowed? - Input a number from 0 to 13 to determine how many notes can be repeated
+in the chord. The default value is 0.
+How many notes? - This is the number of notes you want the chord to contain. Input a number from 4 to 13.
+The default value is 4.
+Lowest interval? - The lowest interval between notes expressed in number of semitones. Accepts values from
+1 to 11. The default value is 2.
+Highest interval? - The highest interval between notes expressed in number of semitones. Accepts values
+from 3 to 11. The default value is 7.
+
+If the program cannot find a chord with the parameters you have set, it will try 10,000 combinations, then
+modify the parameters by increasing the number of clashes and repeated notes allowed, then try 10,000 more
+combinations. In order to reset the parameters, you will have to choose the configuration option again at
+the prompt.
+
+The chord will be displayed in a terminal window, in the following format:
+
+0  clashes allowed
+0  repeated notes allowed
+
+chord=  F D# G# C#
+
+
+Scales:
+Match 1:  F F# G# A B C# D#
+Match 2:  F F# G# A# B C# D#
+Match 3:  F F# G# A# C C# D#
+Match 4:  F G G# A# B C# D#
+Match 5:  F G G# A# C C# D#
+
+
+Chord: the chord expressed in letter notation. First note is the root on the lowest octave (the bass),
+second note is the lowest note of the chord, the other notes are above the lowest note, ending possibly on
+higher octaves.
+Scales: all the 7 note scales built on the chord root containing the notes of the chord.
+
+At the prompt input Enter to generate a new chord, "q" to quit the program. Just closing the terminal window
+will also close the program.
+
+Progression:
+After the first chord, if you choose to configure and then choose "y" (for yes) at the "Progression?"
+prompt, the program will generate a progression built on the first scale matching the previous chord.
+
+How many chords? - input a number from 2 to 16, default 2.
+
+The program will ask you if you want to configure the first chord. You can configure parameters or hit 
+Enter to generate a chord with the same parameters as previous chord. Repeat the operation for the other
+chords of the progression. When all the chords have been generated, the program will display the whole
+progression.
