Common Music (CM) is another interesting composition system (http://commonmusic.sourceforge.net), and a recent revision of the old CM version 2 (https://github.com/ormf/cm), which was still implemented in Common Lisp (in contrast to later versions defined in Scheme) can be loaded into and used alongside Opusmodus 1.2 without problems. This was possible primarily due to a largely revised load mechanism of the old CM sources.  

 

With the new Opusmodus 1.3 this is not possible any more. It seems the problem is caused by the fact that :CLM (and a number of variants) are still added to *features*, but there is no CLM package anymore. I cannot see the Opusmodus sources, but I assume that all CLM definitions have been added directly to the Opusmodus package. Anyway, due to the present feature CM assumes that CLM is there, but then cannot find its package. 

 

Anyway, I found a way around (by changing the relevant feature expressions from #-clm into #-(and clm (not opusmodus)) and will try to have that included in the relevant CM sources at https://github.com/ormf/cm

I should add that all I fixed was that the full Common Music can be loaded again into Opusmodus 1.3. However, Common Music does not "see" CLM and the interface to it is broken, because CLM is now seemingly defined in another package.

 

However, if anyone wants to use CM with CLM you can  load it into a Lisp image without Opusmodus.

FYI, the changes I proposed are meanwhile merged into the repository at https://github.com/ormf/cm, so you can directly load the Common Music version shared there into Opusmodus 1.3 again.

It looks like you don't know how to use CLM in Opusmodus. You can create new instruments and use them on the spot. Soon I will write a tutorial which demonstrate how to use CLM with OMN and how to create new instruments. It can't be easier 🙂

I understand that CLM can be used directly from Opusmodus, but there also exists an interface between Common Music and CLM (I used that already in the 90s...), which is broken in the CLM port to Opusmodus when loading Common Music into it was well. Anyway,  I doubt anyone with miss that 🙂
