Minor trivial technicality ... the 6 note Birthday song snippet is the 6 notes AND the 5 spaces between the notes, so your combinations are underestimated by a bit (3^5 ish). Still reachable by enumeration though.
- lutusp 12y agoFair enough. If there were rests of different lengths between the notes, I might have included them. But as you say, the generation model still works, and as computers become more powerful, such perversities will become more common. :) I look forward to future algorithms that will, on demand, create random but coherent music that closely resembles Mozart, or Beethoven (the string-quartet Beethoven, not the other one :) ) or another composer of the user's choosing. I know some pilot projects like this have been done, but they're not accessible yet.
