Conti says that the reason for a chord for every melody note is to show the harmonic possibilities and that you (the student/player) should make whatever you play, your own. In other words, it is not his intention that you must play a chord for every melody note. That approach is the learning process to get the chord forms into your hands, but not intended for performance.
