Lisp tuning analysis

Hi. I was wondering if anyone on the list had been analyzing or
constructing microtonal MIDI files in Common Music (LISP) ? I'm starting
to work a with it and it seems like there are a lot of possibilities.

Thanks,

Alex

Haskell with Haskore also has powerful possibilities, I'm told.
But you have to extend Haskore yourself with microtonal functions.

cmdist@ccrma.stanford.edu is another mailing list for this;
I know there's a lot of interest -- my part of that
project has been in CLM (where microtones are no problem,
and I translated the scala data base to lisp), Snd (editor)
(where I include just intonation ratios/microtones), and
CMN (notation) where I include some slightly non-standard
microtonal music symbols. All available, for anyone who
is interested, free at ccrma-ftp.stanford.edu:/pub/Lisp;
ccrma's web page is http://www-ccrma.stanford.edu/.
I believe Rick Taube (CM's author) has written microtonal
MIDI-oriented tunes.
