The thread about strange meters made me wonder: have any of you lilypudlians used LP to write serial music? It would seem to be an ideal combination: make a variable and expose it to different output parameters. I assume that with some scheme code, a sequence of pitches could be translated into other series like rhythmic values, dynamics, etc., either through hard-coded permutations or generated from the series by way of some kind of algorithm.
If anyone has experiences to share, I'd be interested in hearing about it. I can often say: "It's not for me, it's for my son" when I ask this kind of question at gaming sites etc. -- this time around it's for a colleague who writes serial-tonal music. I feel so sorry for him when he sits there, the night before the premiere, like a latter-day Mozart, and writes out all his permutations, when it could have been done by a simple "lilypond weirdly.ly" Eyolf -- You will be audited by the Internal Revenue Service. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
