serve the needs of the entire community of publishers

particularly interested in promoting the development of
powerful standards for the representation of various
kinds of documents, including both musical and hyper-
media documents.
NOTES TO NEW PARTICIPANTS/OBSERVERS:
1. Prospective members and observers are welcome at

Subject: MuTeX - how to get it
To: music-research@prg
Message-ID: <51873@robin.cs.nott.ac.uk>
I have recieved a number of requests asking how to obtain the MuTeX macros
following my request for English documentation. I was told of 2 sites where they
are available and the documents I have mention some others. In view of this
need for info here is what I know.
The MuTeX macros are available by anonymous ftp from :
sol.cs.ruu.nl (131.211.80.5) pub/TEX/mtex.tar.Z & Mutex_doc.tar.Z (Utrecht)
wuarchive.wustl.edu mirrors/msdos/tex/mutex.arc (US somewhere)
The documentation I have says it is available from :
cs.ubc.ca (128.189.97.5) /pub/src/MuTeX (Canada Brit. Columbia)
stolaf.edu (130.71.128.1) /pub (off NSFNet somewhere)
Also available to people with JANET access on the Aston TeX server but I
don't have the details. Perhaps someone from Aston can enlighten us??
Unfortunately I don't have the disk space free to hold even a compressed form
to mail to people who cannot get it via these methods. Although if anyone is
desperate I may be able to build one temporarily.
I hope this information is of general use.
John.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my original posting regarding MuTeX
documentation. I received a number of replies that either included the
document by Francois Jalbert or pointed me to a site that has it. I got it
from sol.cs.ruu.nl (Utrecht University, Holland) pub/TEX/Mutex_doc.tar.Z .
Another site suggested was wuarchive.wustl.edu : /mirrors/msdos/tex/mutex.arc.
One correspondent wondered if a MIDI-file => MuTeX translator existed - Does it?
Hope to now get down to some serious MuTeXing.
John.

Earlier on this year there was a discussion (which I caught the end of),
in comp.music, about the generation of music using various types of fractals.
As part of my Honours project I am attempting to do the opposite,that is,take
an established piece of music (in this case a part of one Mozart's flute
sonatas) and try to find a strange attractor which fits the music.
I would very much like to get some comments on this ,as I am having trouble
finding any literature on it.I would particularly like to hear from anyone who
has done this themselves or knows somebody who has done this.
Thanx muchly

Elric heard Erekose laugh bitterly."Why cannot I - we - ever be faced with a
small problem,a domestic problem.Why are we forever involved with the destiny
of the universe?"
Corum replied just as Elric began to nod into a half-doze. "Perhaps domestic
problems are worse.Who knows?"
