I agree 100%. But that doesn’t lead inevitably to your implied conclusion that such a function can’t exist — in a robust creative environment, it leads to an effort to find a way to present the arguments in a way which is unambiguous to both humans and computers. In other words, your inability to instantaneously imagine such a presentation shouldn’t impede the effort of others who might be able to do so. > This is just "I want the computer to typeset what I mean, not what I say". Nope! Cheers, Kieren. ________________________________ Kieren MacMillan, composer (he/him/his) ‣ website: www.kierenmacmillan.info ‣ email: kie...@kierenmacmillan.info
