Specific search enables you to match exact criteria in the search. Asterisk (*) is used as a wildcard.

Gross contourinvolves spelling out a tune in terms of the direction of its intervals (Up, Down, Repeat). This field only accepts the characters u, d and r. For example, "dduu*" finds tunes where the first two intervals are descending and the next two intervals are ascending.

In the interval search the input is the interval between successive tone in number of semitones. Ascending or descending intervals are denoted by + or -. +0 indicates a repeated note. For example, "+2+2-4*" find tunes which begin with two ascending major seconds followed by a descending a major third (i.e. the beginning of the Frere Jacques).
