I used CAL too, although I never bothered to learn much about it.  The 
specific thing I remember doing with it in of itself might just be 
incorporated into RG some other way, but I do feel like a CAL-like language 
would be a reasonable, useful, and worthwhile addition to Rosegarden.

In my specific case, I used CAL to make machine-generated stringed-instrument  
chord bits sound "strummy" by jiggling the timing in space.  The idea was the 
automate the extremely arduous job of twiddling all of that by hand.  
Admittedly, it was at a time when I cared more than I do now for the idea of 
trying to make a MIDI guitar sound more real.  These days, I just record the 
real thing.  Back then, I didn't have that capability.

In of itself, it's definitely not justification.  No argument on that score, 
but I do think the overall idea has a lot of potential, if esoteric, uses.
