I am trying to get a random series of lengths from the list (4/14 5/14 6/14) to span over a certain time, in this case 4 bars. (length-span '4 (rnd-sample 40 '(4/14 5/14 6/14))) The result keeps including tied sixteenth notes, although I want to limit the score and rhythm to two eighth septuplets per bar (with ties). I also tried to include quantize as a second grid which didn't help to "clean" the result. Am I making a mistake here or is this some kind of bug?

Does Opusmodus perhaps already have some quantisation function that expects a list of floats and that basically rounds these floats into a metric rhythm, including using tuplets? I am aware of vector-to-length – that implements a simple form of what I am looking for, but it does not support tuplets. Other algorithmic composition systems have more sophisticated quantisation facilities. For example, OpenMusic provides the box omquantify (among other functions in the Kant library). http://support.ircam.fr/docs/om/om6-manual/co/Quantification.html I am aware that quantification is a complex process, but perhaps that is already there in Opusmodus.
