We still expect more updates and above all more projects, since it is hard to believe that there are so little ICTM-members using the computer. Therefore you find another questionnaire at the end of this newsletter which we ask you to fill in and send back. This should be useful as well for you as for some scholars who want to contact people who are working in the same field.

Ketchen) writes: >Finale, by Coda, is the most powerful music transcription program on the >market. Unfortunately, it is also the most expensive ($1000). Finale's price has been cut almost in half recently, because Coda finally realized that for a 1000 bucks, people were getting a program that, while incredibly powerful, is also incredibly difficult (I have other words for it that can't be said due to net-iquette) and slow - even on a 2Meg Mac SE with a hard drive. There is also a stripped down version called Finale Jr. (or something like that) that sells for even less. I would be curious to know what features have been changed/removed in this new version. ------------------------------ Date: 23 Aug 89 01:08:48 GMT From: Robert Marsanyi <well!rnm@com.apple> Subject: Markovian Music To: music-research@uk.ac.oxford.prg re: Markovian analysis There's a nice PD package by Nick Didkovsky written in JForth for the Amiga that'll take an smus file(s), generate an analysis/synthesis of new material using a 1-degree Markov table and spit it out as smus, rendering it usable with many other Amiga packages. mail me for more info, anyone who's interested. rnm@well sysop, HMSL Forum (415) 928 8246 ps: this has been the subject of many experiments and pieces using HMSL, the Hierarchical Music Specification Language, on the Mac and Amiga. ------------------------------ End of Music-Research Digest
