Thank you! Thats much less general then I would like. But I will keep your 
idea in mind and think about it.

I will look at them.

Even though I saw it, thanks for the link. 

I found something related. I guess it is about the same project, although 
here it has an other name: COPPELIA. 

@InProceedings{Zimmermann:1998,
  author = 	 {Detlev Zimmermann},
  title = 	 {{Modelling Musical Structures. Aims, Limitations, and the 
Artist's Involvement}},
  booktitle = 	 {{ECAI 98 Workshop on Constraints for Artistic Applications}},
  year = 	 {1998},
  address = 	 {Brighton}
}

There are little implementational details in both papers :-(

Kind regards,
Torsten Anders
