Hi Ricardo,

I also use Lisp a lot for composition. Did you try Larry Troxler's scheme external? If you're interested in advanced symbolic computation, that's a good way to go as scheme is a full blown lisp dialect with lexical scoping and such.

Hi Orm, yes I was emailing Olaf about this. I got a shorter c code I think and I'll have a look at the new one tonight. I am deeply interested in lisp manipulation since I use clm as one of my main compositional tools. I use mapcar to manipulate list of x,y values to pass envelopes to paramenters from amplitude to srate and works great in terms of rhythmic accentuation when doing massive loop-overlapping. Kind of (mapcar #'(lambda (x) (+ x (random x))) '(2 30 100 60)) with more pairs. I wonder if I can do this with maphash. If I can not compile it on NT I will try onthe debian demudi I run as well. I think mapper is excellent (well done !) but looks like an extended coll for max I used to pop to create large rows of values to be packed unpacked and sent to a makenote to create chords, with dynamics and duration for playing back a manuscripts or so.

Thanks and sorry for messing around... I usually do not have the time to try these things if I am working.
