The reason the end result is pretty terrible is because classical harmony and melody are closely related, and you can't job-lot-replace one without ruining the other. This project is quite similar to something I've been working on, but I realised early on that you can't split up features like this and get credible results - credible meaning "appropriate for the style grammar." It's a bit - only a bit, but let's go with it - like trying to generate sentences by swapping out nouns and adverbs. You end up with something that is grammatically correct in theory but makes no sense in practice. Classical music particularly is fundamentally integrated in a way that textbook analysis doesn't fully explore.
