This is a very generic exercise. In its most basic form, the program will play some sound, and you have to select among several buttons that in some way represents the music.
Here is a minimal lesson file:
header {
module = idbyname
version = "3.1.4"
title = "Menuitem title"
}
question {
name = "Major"
music = chord("c' e' g'")
}
question {
name = "Minor"
music = chord("c' es' g'")
}
Optional idbyname header variables
filldir = verticTell the direction the buttons are filled. Default value is horiz.
Modules: idbyname.
fillnumTell how many buttons there are in each row or column. The default value is 1.
Modules: idbyname.
labelformat = progressionThe default value is normal.
Set to progression for lesson files where the name of the
questions is a harmonic progression, written in a undocumented, but not
difficult format. Check some existing lesson file to see how it works.
Using this variable is deprecated. Do not use it for new lesson files.
Modules: idbyname
have_repeat_slowly_button
= yesSet to yes if you want the exercise to have a "Repeat slowly" button.
Modules: idbyname.

Required question variables

Optional question variables
vmusicSee vmusic.
cuemusicWill be displayed in the music displayer when the user clicks New.
Ignored if at_question_start = play, show or
at_question_start = show, because then the content of
music or vmusic is displayed when the
user clicks New. (Added in Solfege 2.5.1)
