In this study participants were asked to use the screen based interface of the Melody Triangle. It was simplified so that all they could do was move tokens around. The axes of the triangle would be randomly rearranged for each participant. +The study was divided in to two parts, the first investigated musical preference with respect to single melodies at different tempos. In the second part of the study, a background melody is playing and the participants are asked to find a second melody that 'works well' with the background melody. For each participant this was done four times, each with a different background melody from four different areas of the Melody Triangle. + +[TODO!!] -The study was divided in to 5 subtasks.
