Scripted musical notation available

[Luigi Di Martino]

Hi

Thank you Kurt and Erik for the useful insights. I won't give up trying to 
get my head around how to program, although I fear it will take me longer 
than my patience will allow. The shakabox (beat machine) idea is moving me 
closer to what I'd like to do. The main area that I will need to learn is 
how to map one midi note to another. Then to instruct the program to perform 
some other duties, like "take musical phrase around the intervals 1 3 #5", 
and "transpose circle of 5ths up by the ratio of a Comma (80:81)" . 
Basically I want a piece of software that allows me to compose my 'mirror' 
music ideas.

In 1997 a programmer did build me a basic mirroring program, called The 
Mirrormaker. It does the midi mapping. I am no longer in touch with the 
programmer and have no access to the code, and it was written for only 
windows anyway. If anyone is interested in hearing a few I have over a 
thousand midi files that I have mirrored with this software. To get the 
software to perform more scripts is what I would love to learn to do, but I 
have to start at the beginning again and find out about the mapping of 
notes.

Should I perhaps concentrate on the design of a program and find a 
programmer willing to write the code for such a design? Or perhaps someone 
can recommend me a cool book that is easy to understand (for dunces!)

Thanks for reading
Lui
