I've gotten so many responses to my posting, asking for what I find, that I'm posting the results to the net. For those who don't know from the literature, Fugue is a computer sound-synthesis 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.cmu.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 point out that these are "prototypes" and not "releases in the sense that [he thinks] they're ready for geting practical work done." New versions, with documentation, are on the way. Vance
