I'm doing some work (analytically) with Messiaen's finite permutations of sequences (Livre d'Orgue, Catalogue d'Oiseaux etc) - and want to be able to develop more functions in OM to generate versions of the various options that Messiaen sets out in his later writings and that have been also been analysed in a number of academic writings by others.
The messiaen-permutation function in OM is really simple to use, but the documentation is pretty minimal and I cannot figure out what specific permutation this function uses? It does not appear to be either of the two standard 'fan' permutations (open or closed) and it only appears to generate one type of permutation.
Could the code for this function be made available so it can be adapted - or can we have some options for adapting/arguments in the current function on the system?
