I am glad that this forum is returned and and it is possible to communicate in it. Here there is freedom to present different views on music theory (if without offenses) in opposite to some other forums where conservative gurus may erase posts.
I have already presented on this forum my program for experiments with known melodies and music composition in the new music system. Since that time I remade this program and present it on the site [
arcor.de].
Several mp3 files for initial segments of harmonized by the program famous melodies are presented below.

Indeed, I need critic on these files. Community's opinion about them is very interesting for me as I never worked as practical musician and only experimented with own programs. Thank to such critic I possibly were able to improve the program.
I think that suggesting music system simlifies very essentially the harmonization of melody and in this way should help music composition.
The advantages of the new system:
1.It needn't in use of vertical structures of music notes,that is chords, and consequently chord progressions.
2.It improves the stumbling block of existing music system in which frequencies of notes' partials don't correspond exactly to music scale. That may bring unpleasant dissonances in chords and to avoid them music theory adopts its chord structures (patterns)from practice.
3.I think that founder of established music theory J.Rameau made very valuable notices about harmony (see the article "Rameau about properties of harmony"
[

One of them is that it is desirable to avoid strong dissonances without particuar musical idea. Apparently, it isn't easy in established music system thank to necessary use of chord's inversions and different structures of chords in their progressions. Therefore the music theory includes found in practice tricks to treat with dissonances (see the article "Nonchord tone" in the Wikipedia).
In the new music system all parameters except melody pitches and notes' time intervals are determined in all round way and only in particular cases (for example in cadences) may be substituted by individual determined values. It permits to avoid unneeded dissonances without any efforts.
4.The new structure of music note which substitutes chord includes
only 3 oder 4 main sinusoidal partials: melody one, 1 or 2 highest ones, middle one and lowest ostinato one. The structure foreseen dissonant counterparts by each from them as well. That permits to determine exactly all partials through indication of corresponding parameters.

5. In the new note structure all partials except the lowest ostinato one are formed by corresponding constant for each partial displacement of note's pitch ,therefore the clear sensation of given melody is provided.
6.The ostinato line is formed by special transformation of melody one which limits its leaps but preserves directions of melody changes. By it the ability of ostinato partial to provide music smoothness is essentialy enhanced.
