Doesn’t that depends ultimately upon the precise algorithms (and thus output)
involved? I mean, I could code an algorithm that outputs either
{ c'1 }
or
{ c''1 }
with no other possibility. If the algorithm uses a random number generator to
determine which output to give, “one never knows what’s going to happen”, but
it would still be easy for Lilypond to make the result "look good".
Obviously this is a vast simplification of the actual situation under
discussion… My point is simply that the two constraints, while potentially
difficult to satisfy simultaneously, aren’t [literally] mutually exclusive.
Cheers,
Kieren.
