Abstract:A "generative grammar" is a system of explicit and formal rules which are formulated in such a way that they may generate a set of sentences (ie. a language). We discuss a computer software system for which the grammatical rules of a music language can be precisely defined. From these rules the computer system may generate automatically music compositions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
