you are right, sorry. no computer with me... think you could replace filter-first-last by: (car (last list))

don't konw if something like this exists in ONE function... could be useful!! andré (defun count-repetitions (value-list) (let ((seq (append value-list (list 'nil)))) (loop repeat (1- (length seq)) with count = 1 for cnt1 = 0 then (incf cnt1) for cnt2 = 1 then (incf cnt2) when (equal (nth cnt1 seq) (nth cnt2 seq)) do (incf count) when (not (equal (nth cnt1 seq) (nth cnt2 seq))) collect count and do (setq count 1)))) (count-repetitions '(1 1 2 2 2 3 4 4 1)) (count-repetitions '(abc bc a a a a bc))

if you want to pick a sample from approx.center (depends on odd/even) of a list...

here's a link to a small article (in german) about HANSPETER KYBURZ's kind of L-SYSTEM-implementation... http://www.eresholz.de/de/text/Eres Holz_Ausschnitt aus der Masterarbeit.pdf

kind of transposing.... in ONE function...

(setq seq '(c3 b3 a4 g2)) (loop for i in seq collect (adjust-pitch-sequence seq 'c3 i))

further XENAKIS-sieve-functions could be with the AND/OR/NOT inside... see: "formalized-music" or: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHUkSf4aZ3E

nice :-) i have a lot of extra function on SYMMETRIES in my USER-library, it's a part of my momentary project - chained-symmetries - symmetries based on markov - shifted symmetries ..................................................

of course...i knew that... but: yours is not with AMBITUS and not with complex-sieves, and not in ONE function. and, as all the time, i wanted to do it for myself.

have fun! andré ;;; TWO SIEVE-generators ;;; simple and multiple (the simple-function is part of multiple) ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; (defun gen-sieve (ambitus.omn intervals) (midi-to-pitch (loop with ambitus.midi = (pitch-to-midi ambitus.omn) with interval.cnt = -1 for pitch = (first ambitus.midi) then (setq pitch (+ (nth interval.cnt intervals) pitch)) when (<= pitch (second ambitus.midi)) collect pitch into bag else return bag do (incf interval.cnt) when (= interval.cnt (length intervals)) do (setq interval.cnt 0)))) (gen-sieve '(c4 g7) '(2 1)) ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; (defun gen-multiple-sieve (sieve-rules) ;sieve-rules => '((ambitus.omn intervals) (ambitus.omn intervals) (ambitus.omn intervals)) (midi-to-pitch (sort (remove-duplicates (loop for i in sieve-rules append (pitch-to-midi (gen-sieve (first i) (second i))))) #'<))) (gen-multiple-sieve '(((c4 g7) (2 1 12)) ((c1 g7) (3 5))))

violà, i think this is what you are looking for... (defun multiple-expand-tonality (&key startpitch octaves tonality) (remove-duplicates ;remove is for "cutting" if there are too much pitches (OMN loops last octave!) (loop repeat octaves with pitch = startpitch with cnt = 0 when (= cnt (length tonality)) do (setq cnt 0) append (expand-tonality (list pitch (nth cnt tonality))) do (incf cnt) do (setq pitch (car (pitch-transpose 12 (list pitch))))))) (multiple-expand-tonality :startpitch 'c2 :octaves 6 :tonality '(messiaen-mode1 messiaen-mode2 messiaen-mode3))

dear stephane thanx to you! volià, here is a simple short code for this "problem"... regards andré ;;;FUNCTION (defun multiple-expand-tonality (&key startpitch octaves tonality) (remove-duplicates ;remove is for "cutting" if there are too much pitches (OMN loops last octave!)

i'm sure that it would also work with tonality-map, but i was interested to code a simple version for my own to understand all the things :-) ;;; i wanted to map every interval-sequence to every possible pitchfield... ;;; all the sequences are "centered" (i needed that for my project) ;;; with :base you could move up and down the center ;;; :pitchfield has to be a OMN-pitch-sequence ;;; FUNCTION (defun interval-projection-on-pitchfield (&key pitchfield intervals (base 0)) (let ((integers (pitch-to-integer (interval-to-pitch intervals))) (base-0-integers) (centering) (pos)) (setq base-0-integers (loop for i in integers collect (+ (abs (find-min integers)) i))) (setq centering (if (evenp (find-max base-0-integers)) ;; finds the center of the seq (/ (find-max base-0-integers) 2) (/ (1+ (find-max base-0-integers)) 2))) (loop for i in base-0-integers do (setq pos (+ i (* -1 centering) base)) ;; compensating center & base when (< pos 0) do (setq pos 0) ;; corr if intervals to big (+/-) when (> pos (1- (length pitchfield))) do (setq pos (1- (length pitchfield))) collect (nth pos pitchfield)))) ;;; EXAMPLE (interval-projection-on-pitchfield :pitchfield (append (expand-tonality '(c4 messiaen-mode5)) (expand-tonality '(c5 messiaen-mode5)) (expand-tonality '(c6 messiaen-mode5))) :intervals '(1 2 3 1 2 -4 -3 -2 3 5 7 -2) :base 12) short question: is there a possibilty to build this (append (expand-tonality '(c4 messiaen-mode5)) (expand-tonality '(c5 messiaen-mode5)) (expand-tonality '(c6 messiaen-mode5))) with ONE function (i need more ambitus then 1 octave)... thanx, andré

;; little function. don't know if something like this already exits ;; in OMN: i wanted to READ the swallowed pitches after ambitus-swallow ;; i hope it works fine... ;;function (defun read-ambitus-swallowed (min/max omn-sequence) (let ((up (ambitus-swallow (list (second min/max) 'g9) omn-sequence)) (down (ambitus-swallow (list 'c0 (first min/max)) omn-sequence))) (merge-voices up down))) ;;nonsense-sequence (setq omn-sequence '(e f4 t a0 q g0 d9 s. eb6 t. f3 cs9 t ab0 q c0)) ;;ord ambitus-swallow (ambitus-swallow '(a0 g8) omn-sequence) ;;the excluded pitches (read-ambitus-swallowed '(a0 g8) omn-sequence)

that's the reason beacuse ein wanted to do replace BEFORE ambitus-swallow. when i have such problems i'm mostly starting to change the DATA-structure. then i'm generating (so called) EVENTS - every event has the same structure - when no data then its slot is 'nil -> this was also necessary/or the best way for my HOQUETUS-code... in that case you can avoid such "data-phase-delays" but i don't know if this is the best solution ?

okay i see, thanx! after AMBITUS-SWALLOW (for splitting voices), i have to REPLACE the value by ACC in one voice and delete the VALUE/the REST in the other voices... but - after short coding - it seems, that it's not so easy - looks like the grammar get some error and after that you have some phase-delays in the seperat omn-stream (between the voices)...

hi all, i coded a little markov-program who changes the LEVEL-size if necessary to generate the number of values you want exactly. it would be nice if someone could check/test the IDEA, and if it's correct and makes sense :-) the markov starts on LEVEL 3 and tries to generate a number of output-levels with its TRANSITION-rules (level-3-rules), if it's possible (=generating the size) everything's fine. but if it's not possible, then the programm changes on LEVEL-2-rules ... if this is also not possible (to generate the size) then it changes to LEVEL 1... here is the code... ;;;FUNCTION (defun gen-multiple-markov (sequence &key size) (let ((transitions-level-1 (gen-markov-transitions sequence :level 1)) ;; gen transition-table level-1 (transitions-level-2 (gen-markov-transitions sequence :level 2)) ;; gen transition-table level-2 (seq (gen-markov-from-transitions (gen-markov-transitions sequence :level 3) :size size))) ;; gen markov-seq on level-3 (if (< (length seq) size) ;; test if seq is too short (/= (length seq) size) (progn ;; if too short -> combine the last seq with a new one (level 2) (setq seq (append seq (gen-markov-from-transitions transitions-level-2 :size (- size (length seq)) :start (last seq)))) (if (< (length seq) size) ;; same test as above (append (append seq (gen-markov-from-transitions transitions-level-1 :size (- size (length seq)) :start (last seq)))) (append seq))) (append seq)))) ;;;TEST (gen-multiple-markov '(1 2 3 2 1 2 3 2 1 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 2 2 3 2 1 1 2) :size 36) best wishes and THANX andré

okay, in some way it's markov LEVEL 2. but i try to code something more "individual", a combination of LEVEL 1 and LEVEL 2... when i have something new i will post it...
