Hi John, Ed: Thank you very much for the links. I will be checking them out soon to see if I find a new toy. So far the application I have been able to use is RoseGanden but I have not done whole lot. I work exclusively with midi because that is the only way I can manipulate music for live performance.
To give you an idea of the functionality I need: I pick any piece of music from my bookshelf, scan it, feed it to the music program, and finally modify the music. After this has happened the computer knows how to perform the music and I can continue to make changes to any music parameter at will, for sound or printing. In terms of sound, the quality of a midi card in Windows or MacOS is somewhat pleasant to the ear( the piano sound ). In linux on the other hand it is horrible if I even get it to work. There is this program from a company called Coda. It listens to your playing and adjusts the nuances of your playing, a virtual accompanist. Can anyone imagine the complexity of algorithms they must use? I would love to read about the theory behind this technology. I imagine there is a great deal of fuzzy logic and heuristic algorithms. Well, once again thank you and I will talk to you later.
