A music application guides a user with some musical experience through the steps of creating and editing a musical enhancement file that enhances and plays in synchronicity with an audio signal of an original artist's recorded performance. This enables others, perhaps with lesser musical ability than the original artist, to play-along with the original artist by following melodic, chordal, rhythmic, and verbal prompts. The music application accounts for differences in the timing of the performance from a standard tempo by guiding the user through the process of creating a tempo map for the performance and by associating the tempo map with MIDI information of the enhancement file. Enhancements may contain MIDI information, audio signal information, and/or video signal information which may be played back in synchronicity with the recorded performance to provide an aural and visual aid to others playing-along who may have less musical experience. 1. A method of guiding a user through a music application for enhancing a performance signal , comprising:prompting the user to store the performance signal in a performance track of the music application;prompting the user to store information in accordance with the tempo of the contents of the performance track in a tempo track of the music application;prompting the user to store enhancement data that is both associated with the contents of the performance track and temporally linked to the contents of the tempo track in at least a first enhancement track of the music application; andprompting the user to save the contents of the tempo track and the contents of at least the first enhancement track as an enhancement file.260-.

Systems, devices, and methods for encoding digital representations of musical compositions are described. Various components of a musical composition that are defined in modern music theory, such as notes and bars, are encoded as respective hierarchically-dependent data objects in a data file. The hierarchically-dependent data objects encode the musical composition in a tree-like data structure with modular nodes and adjustable relationships between nodes. Note start times and beat start times are encoded independently of one another and characterized by a timing relationship that captures the expressiveness imbued when notes and beats are not precisely synchronized. Musical variations that preserve the timing relationship between the notes and beats of the original composition are also generated and encoded. 1. A computer-implemented method of encoding a musical composition in a digital audio format , the method comprising: 'for each chord in the musical composition, encoding chord parameters in a respective chord data object, the chord parameters including a chord key and a chord scale;', 'encoding respective components of the musical composition in respective data objects, wherein encoding respective components of the musical composition in respective data objects includesencoding the data objects in a data file; andstoring the data file in a non-transitory processor-readable storage medium.2.
