[admin] Project Request

[David Psenicka]

I am writing to request space for a project to be hosted on
common-list.net.  The name of the project is "Fomus" (an acronym for
format music).  It is a program for computer music composition and is
designed to work with other Lisp music programs (Rick Taube's Common
Music and CCRMA's Common Music Notation in particular).  The program
receives "raw" data representing notes, durations and other musical
parameters and outputs files in various formats to be imported into
music notation programs (supported file formats include MusicXML, CMN,
and Lilypond), the idea being that all decisions regarding notation such
as spelling of notes, splitting and tying notes, layout of voices across
staves, etc. are automated.  This relieves the compute music composer of
the tedious task of importing and formatting the output of his/her
algorithms, facilitating artistic experimentation and allowing for
quicker feedback.  The program is also being written in a modular
fashion so that users can choose between sets of related functions or to
use only select portions of the program.  It is being tested in SBCL,
CMUCL, OpenMCL, Allegro and CLISP.
