Thanks. Like "Mr Python", I desgined my own tools to do microtonal MIDI
stuff, and they include commands that are simple to write, but then
execute complex expression/vibrato/tremolo curves over MIDI notes. OR
Crescendi, hairpins, etc. And every note is panned differently.

I've posted this before, but:

them's the tools.

Well, this is old, but here's what I wrote in memoriam Lou Harrison:

Based on Chalmer's tetrachordal stuff.

I also have a big project on the horizon with JJI . .but that's . .on the
horizon . . .

Yep. Even though the control is impressive, I find it at least as impressive that you 'score it out' first, rather than transliterating a midi improv/mock-up. But, then again, that is what we should expect from a Composer! :)

One day I'll try using the tool. Would it be possible for you to collate the tutorial pages into just one .html page, either for downloading or "saving as"? I'd like to take a close enough look to see if I could use another language to translate a textfile version of midi into your score format.

Yes, I like that one, and the suggestion was definitely tongue-in-cheek.

Bigger than "Sand"? That could be a while. BTW, nice site for you electronic collective...

Cheers,
