It had c-code of the program, I grabbed it from ps-file. It works, and I’m just about to put it on github. I modified the code, and it writes scheme-file. Been testing it with Grace, and something it does.
Also I have code for jMusic using simulated annealing, but it uses different kind of qualification (much more elaborate). And, somewhere on my disks is a genetic algorithm with jMusic... Do contact me, if you’re interested in these. mit vielen grüssen -m _______________________________________________ Cmdist mailing list [email protected] http://ccrma-mail.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/cmdist
