[I'm posting this for David A. Jaffe, one of the main people behind the NeXT Music Kit... Enjoy! -Ali] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've been teaching a course at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA, Stanford) on the fundamentals of the Music Kit. In this class, I'm having my students use Lisp to generate Scorefiles which are then played using the 1.0 NeXT software. I'm making my teaching materials available via the archive server. (Currently, the materinal is on the server umd5.umd.edu. It'll be on others soon.) The materials may be freely used and distributed. They include a Lisp package for programatically generating Scorefiles, various examples, and extensive documentation. Here's how to get it off of the archive server: 1. ftp umd5.umd.edu 2. anonymous (log in) 3. (give your host name as the password) 4. cd NeXT/Example_Projects 5. binary 6. get LispScorefile.tar.Z 7. bye Then, to use it: 1. uncompress LispScorefile.tar.Z 2. tar xf LispScorefile.tar This writes a number of files on your directory. See the directions in README for what to do next. Note that the Lisp scorefile package is just one of many ways that the Music Kit may be used. David Jaffe
