[Apologies for multiple postings]

Strasheela 0.8 is released. Strasheela is a highly expressive constraint-based music composition system. The Strasheela user declaratively states a music theory and the computer generates music which complies this theory. A theory is formulated as a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) by a set of rules (constraints) applied to a music representation in which some aspects are expressed by variables (unknowns). Music constraint programming is style-independent and is well-suited for highly complex theories (e.g. a fully-fledged theory of harmony). The results can be output into various formats including MIDI, Csound, and Lilypond. Also output to nested Common Music seqs is already available (Strasheela may be launched from within Common Music and fed code via sockets).

After more than four years of research and development, this is the first Strasheela release which is made public.

Best wishes,
Torsten
