What does melodic mean?
This can mean a number of things. Some people say that a series of notes is melodic if it draws more attention to itself or has a more prominent role in a piece of music (the melody/melodies of a song instead of the harmony/harmonies). Some people might refer to something as being melodic if they consider it to be pleasant, beautiful, or it simply happens to be higher in pitch. Also, in music theory, tones are considered to be melodic if they are played one at a time, whereas harmonic tones are played at the same time (therefor forming a harmony with each other).
