Dear Etu,
 
The midi works differently in Mac. Actually, Mac can share the midi drivers among different softwares.
In Windows, once a midi driver is used by one application, it can´t be used by other application. 
So, I helped Janusz and the team of programmers to develop a different approach for Windows systems.
With this option for selecting inputs and outputs, you can manage to map the midi inputs and outputs to
 match the best option for your system.
 
For example, I have the hardware controllers input drivers going in the input of Reaper, that also hosts all my sound libraries and other VSTs.
From Reaper I configured the output of just my little keyboard midi controller to input in Opusmodus, via the loopback software.
 
In Mac you can map everything using the MIDI/Audio studio configuration inside OSX.
 
All the best,
Julio Herrlein

I'll try to do a first proof of concept 🙂 Will start working on it this week to get a first impression of how complex this might be.
 
Will keep you informed.

The new function UNIFY-RHYTHMS will solve your problem - 3.0.28916
 
Examples:
 
(setf l1 '(q e e 3q 3q 3q -e. s)) (setf l2 '(e e e. s -e e s -s s -s))  
(list l1 l2) ; select and press cmd-2  
 
(unify-rhythms l1 l2)
 
(setf r1 (rhythm-series 6 5 3/8 :length '(q. e. e s 3q))) (setf r2 (rhythm-series 6 4 1/2 :length '(q. e. e s 3q))) (setf r3 (rhythm-series 6 3 1/2 :length '(q. e. e s 3q)))  
(list r1 r2 r3) ; select and press cmd-2  

 
Now we merge all three voices to form a single entity:
 
(unify-rhythms r1 r2 r3)  

 
 
 

I'm in travel actually and very busy but i wrote two short example for you to explore, not exactly what you ask for but I hope interesting to study for you and hopefully inspiring for further exploration.
Happy study 🙂

Thank you Julio for your answer.

Maybe this could be better addressed with AI. Actually, tonality is a very complex endeavour, a very idiomatic system.
 
A melody can assume multiple functions. I like to think it as a system of scales with 9 different degrees or modal stations. Transposing this stations through the 12 keys is enough to get all the progressions of the common practice and jazz,  a sort of George Russell stuff.
 
Some time ago I build an Opusmodus library with chords, but after I realised that would be easier to just midi input the chords I like and process the voicings with the drop-voicing function I helped Janusz to create.
 
Each composition have some unique and handmade stuff. For me, that part is the choice of pitches and underlying harmony. I have my sensibility based in years of hearing and playing.
 
Probably the AI will bring some ease to the process, but as humans, we need time to grasp and really internalize the material. The same occur with Opusmodus output, that sometimes brings more material than we can deal with, in the process of building a piece. Part of the problem is also dealing with form and the cognitive aspect of the information flow.
 
Best,
Julio

Makes sense. I set my default to Acrobat instead, and it loads just fine now.
 
Thanks!

New function in 3.0.28902
 
rhythm-series num number-of-notes span &key length prob seed
 
This function returns a list of successive rhythmic series derived from a span (overall duration), length values, and a number of length-notes per bar. The length- notes within each bar are positioned at random.
 
Simple examples:
 
(rhythm-series 4 3 3/8) => ((-1/16 1/8 -1/16 1/16 1/16) (1/16 3/16 1/8) (1/8 3/16 1/16) (3/16 1/16 1/8)) (rhythm-series 4 5 3/8) => ((1/16 1/16 1/16 1/8 1/16) (-1/16 1/16 1/16 1/16 1/16 1/16) (1/16 1/16 1/16 -1/16 1/16 1/16) (1/16 1/16 1/16 1/16 -1/16 1/16)) (rhythm-series 4 3 1/4) => ((1/16 1/8 1/16) (1/16 1/16 1/8) (1/16 1/8 1/16) (1/16 1/8 1/16))  
Examples with given length values:
 
(rhythm-series 4 3 1 :length '(q. e. s)) => ((-1/4 1/16 1/16 1/16 -9/16) (1/8 3/16 -5/16 3/8) (1/16 3/16 -3/8 3/8) (3/16 -1/16 3/8 3/8)) (rhythm-series 6 5 3/8 :length '(q. e. e s 3q) :prob 0.1) => ((1/16 1/16 1/16 1/16 1/8) (1/8 1/16 1/16 1/16 1/16) (1/16 1/8 1/16 1/16 1/16) (1/16 1/8 1/16 1/16 1/16) (1/16 1/16 1/16 1/16 1/16 -1/16) (1/16 1/16 1/16 1/8 1/16)) (rhythm-series 6 5 3/8 :length '(q. e. e s 3q) :prob 0.9) => ((1/12 1/12 1/12 1/12 1/24) (1/24 1/12 1/12 1/12 1/12) (1/16 1/16 1/16 1/16 1/16 -1/16) (1/16 1/16 -1/16 1/16 1/16 1/16) (1/16 1/16 1/16 -1/16 1/16 1/16) (1/16 1/16 1/16 1/16 -1/16 1/16))  
Example with list of unique values for each generated series:
 
(rhythm-series '(1 4 3 2) '(7 5 7 7) '(3/8 3/8 1/2 3/4) :prob '(.4 .6 .7 .1) :length '(q. e. e s 5q 3q) :seed 34) => ((1/20 1/20 1/20 1/20 1/20 1/20 1/40 -1/20) (1/24 1/12 1/12 1/12 1/12) (1/20 -1/20 1/20 -1/20 1/20 1/20 1/40 -1/20) (1/16 1/16 1/16 1/16 1/8) (1/16 1/16 1/8 1/16 1/16) (1/20 1/20 1/20 1/20 1/20 -1/20 1/20 -1/20 1/20 -1/20) (-1/20 -1/20 1/20 1/20 -1/20 1/20 1/20 1/20 1/20 1/20) (-1/20 1/20 -1/20 1/20 1/20 1/20 1/20 1/20 -1/20 1/20) (-1/16 1/16 1/16 1/16 -1/8 1/16 -1/16 1/16 1/16 1/16 -1/16) (1/12 -1/12 -1/12 1/12 1/12 1/12 1/12 1/12 1/12))  
OMN example:
 
(make-omn :length (rhythm-series '(1 4 3 2) '(7 5 7 7) 1/2 :prob '(.4 .6 .7 .1) :length '(q. e. e s) :seed 34) :pitch (gen-chord3 '((cs4 g4 a5) (c4 gs3 a4) (b5 f5 gs5) (b4 fs4 bb5) (cs5 c6 gs4) (e5 g3 a5)) '((6 8 11) (3 5 13) (2 7 11)))) Best wishes, Janusz

The hanging notes should be fixed in 3.0.28886.

OUT NOW!

The def-instrument-set needs to be set correctly for each instrument. There are no empty layouts 🙂
I addend a new keyword :audition into the PS function.
When :output is set to :audition no midi player or notation viewer will display - just audio.
 
Example:
(ps 'gm :sq (list vn1 vn2 vla vlc) :tempo 68 :output :audition)  
def-score is more flexibile for it - no layout needed.

only trust your own code 😉
