apparently your idea here is to use the staff notation
as given by a scanner, and then enter this into your
composition program.

I might suggest an alternative method - use standard midi files
(many are available on the web). This way you need only write a program
that parses the midi files rather than parses the score.

Sarn's reply:

Is there a wide variety of music available on the Internet?
I don't have much experience with the music available-I'm usually looking at
cosmology and tuning.

Will check it out.

Thanks * "A Purple Grapefruit", Bill!!!!!!

(2 Sourronded by a Triangle= 2^2=4, 2 sourronded by a square = 2 sourronded
by 2 triangles= 4^(4^(4^4)), 2 sourronded by a Pentagon=2 sourronded by 2
squares= 2 sourronded by 4^(4^(4^4))*triangles=A hyper-Mega.

2 sourronded by a "Hyper-Mega-Polygon"=An Ursell.

One Ursell (Operator up one Ursell: +=1, *=2, ^=3......) One Ursell=A
"Purple Grapefruit".

I took poetic licence on this.
