Dear Maarten,

Thanks for your reply.

Thank you for your explanation. Could you please tell a little bit more
detailed how you did the pattern processing?

You probably know the related scientific work on pattern and music.
Otherwise I allow myself to mention just a few researches working in the
field (just what comes to my mind tonight ;-).

- David Cope (http://arts.ucsc.edu/faculty/cope/) extracts patterns
typical for certain musical styles and uses them as one important aspect
for style imitation. 
Technically most detailed (as far as I know) is his book "Computers and
Musical Style" (The Computer Music and Digital Audio Series, Vol 6),
1991  

- The program Continuator by François Pachet
(http://www.csl.sony.fr/~pachet/) collects patterns from real time
input, encodes them by markov chains and generates new output from that.

- Darrel Conklin
(http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/indices/a-tree/c/Conklin%3ADarrell.html)
searches whole music corpora for what he calls 'viewpoint pattern'
(patterns on e.g. pitch successions, interval successions, interval
direction succession ...) to better understand what a musical style
constitutes.


Sorry, if you knew all this already.

Best,
Torsten
