;;; "mirror image" of a cutout
;;; --------------------------------------------------------------------------

;;; this function is generating a "mirror image" of a cutout
;;; by random-length/pos or by event-numbers
;;; the "untaken" part will be replaced by rests

;;; the "special thing is" to connect it exactly/immediately to the original-seq
;;; and as filtered-seq you could use it in an other part/instrument
;;; i coded it for my current work... so, take it or delete it!

added 3 minutes later

in comination with length-augmentation (and tranpositions) you could generate a "distorted mirror image" in an other part/instrument
