Strasheela 0.9.3 has been released

Dear all,

[I thought this release info might be of interest for some of you]

Strasheela is a highly expressive constraint-based music composition
system. Users declaratively state a music theory and the computer
generates music which complies with this theory. A theory is
formulated as a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) by a set of
rules (constraints) applied to a music representation in which some
aspects are expressed by variables (unknowns). Music constraint
programming is style-independent and is well-suited for highly complex
theories (e.g. a fully-fledged theory of harmony). Results can be
output into various formats including MIDI, Lilypond, and Csound.

This release adds music theoretical concepts. A generalised version of
Schoenberg's guidelines on writing good tonal chord progressions have
been implemented as constraints. Strasheela now supports composition
in 31-tone equal temperament (31 ET). For example, various 31 ET
chords and scales are provided, and output to Lilypond, as well as
Csound is supported. 31 ET MIDI output can be defined by the user --
it depends on your MIDI setup. Other additions and bugfixes have been
made to the system as well.
