Freezing file
Hi everybody,
I'm working on different automatic composition projects, involving a lot of random use.
Is it possible to "freeze" a complete score, instead of fixing a seed for each "random generator" (rnd-order function) ?
I'd like to be in a "push button" situation, listening to a lot of versions and saving only the ones really working.
I can do that by saving the score as a pdf and exporting a midifile for each instance, but it would be wonderful
As Stephane also pointed out earlier, if you want to create a number of randomised solutions, but then later want to fix the result to one solution/seed of your choice, one way to do that is to always print the current seed, and in the end to simply replace your randomly generated seed with a seed of your choice.
(progn
(setf seed (random 1000))
(print seed)
;; replace seed below ultimately with seed generating a result you like
(init-seed seed))
Best,
Torsten
