Reharmonise a passage
Warmer harmony under the same melody, in three versions side by side.
You get several options on the same melody to read and hear. Nothing is chosen for you.
The options, side by side
Option A, Warm colour
your chords coloured as sixths and sevenths, plus three gentle links. It is the closest to your setting.

From the guide that came with Option B
Each option comes with its own guide. These lines are copied from this one.
Performance notes
The approach chords want a slight lean into the chord they lead to: B7 to Em7 (bars 3, 5 into 6, and 7), A7 or A9 to D7 (bars 1, 3 and 8), A7 to A♭7 (bar 6), G7/B to C6 (bar 4).
What was done and what was not
Kept exactly: your melody (all 32 notes, same pitches, spellings and rhythm; checked note for note against your file), key, meter and form. Every difference from your file is in the alto, tenor and bass.
No option is chosen for you. No lyrics, fermatas or breath marks were added.

The same few questions, with your own music. Nothing runs until you have set a spending limit and pressed Start.
