I've gotten so many responses to my posting, asking for what I find, that I'm po
sting the results to the net.
For those who don't know from the literature, Fugue is a computer sound-synthesi
s system based on the public-domain interpreter Xlisp. Its main contribution is
the SOUND data type, which behaves like an array of floats, with many extras.
Canon is a scoring system written in Xlisp, to run in Fugue.
Both Canon and Fugue are available by anonymous ftp from CMU. Connect to g.cs.c
mu.edu; Canon is in /usr/rbd/cmt/canon/*.lsp, and Fugue is in /usr/rbd/cmt/fugue
/fugue.tar.Z.
Roger Dannenberg, the CMU professor who has supervised this work, asks me to poi
nt out that these are "prototypes" and not "releases in the sense that [he think
s] they're ready for geting practical work done." New versions, with documentat
ion, are on the way.

In a recent issue of PC magazine, there was a, what I call, rave review of
Finale music printing software for PC Window 3.0.
I would like to hear from those who actually used the product. With its
MIDI interface, I was lead to believe that the Finale is an idea music
writing, developing, prototyping tool. Is that true?
Thanks in advance

Does anyone know if there are any music graphics/printing programs that
take advantage of the inter-application communication capabilities of
Windows/3 or Macintosh System 7? I have heard that there is a Windows
version of Finale out or coming, but does it allow for Windows DDEs?
Are there updates in the works for any Mac packages that take advantage
of the similar capabilities in System 7?
Thanks for any information.

I am looking for softwares (either commercially available or public domain) that
teach music theory on a Mac or an IBM PC. If you know some, please give me
suggestion. Thanks.

To: Stephen Page <Stephen.Page@prg>
SCALES and TEMPERAMENTS:
Has anyone CENT or Hz-measurments(!) for special musical scale systems?
One of the aspects to improve our software is to equip the user
with his/her prefered tuning. There is, of course, much literature
but we would prefer things that have been stored and scales which
have been recently measured.
As a matter of course we would quote everyone contributing to this
aspect.

ROCK melodies in machine readable form:
Two scholars start to encode popular (Rock) melodies for comparative
analysis in the Essen system. If there is anyone who has done such
encodings (only one part melodies), please let us know.

I tried going into /usr/rbd/cmt at g.cs.cmu.edu, but the ftp server told me that guests weren't allowed in there... I'd like to see more about Canon and Fugue; perhaps even the code itself, but at the present time, I cannot. Would it be possible to move the files into a public directory? Or somewhere where people can actually get to them? :Marc Silver (408)459-7924 /gollum@ucscb.ucsc.edu,fractal@cats.ucsc.edu : :Physicist/Musician/Geek /fifteen billion years of evolution and dragon magic : :perpetual student, UCSC /to produce a cosmos forever beautiful; a fraction of : :Santa Cruz, Terra, Sol /a heartbeat to see the cream pie flying in your face : (: (: (: (: (: (: (: (: (: (: (: (: (: :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
