Hi,
I'm thinking of writing a little fun application based on "Mozart's
Musikalisches Wuerfelspiel". The idea is to compose a 16-bar Waltz using a
pair of (virtual) dice and a table of musical fragments.
I already wrote such a game for Mup ( I you have Mup, go
to http://linux.martintarenskeen.nl and look for "mupsdice" )
And long ago I had this version of the same game on my old Atari ST:
http://tamw.atari-users.net/mozart.htm
Now I want to try to write a Lilypond version. I'll probably use Python to
do it. If I have the time. Don't wait for it, I'll let you know if I ever
finish it :-)
But thinking about this little project I was wondering: Would it be
possible to write a lilypond input file, using just pure Lilypond syntax
and some Scheme magick, that would produce a different score each time you
process it with Lilypond? I don't know much about scheme programming, but
a short google search tells me it has some support for random numbers.
Aleatoric composition using Lilypond ... maybe a nice challenge for
Lilypond/Scheme developers and power-users ?
