Re: Pattern duration and: monospace pianoroll?

I've created a quark called Panola (stands for pattern notation 
language) to solve some

of the problems you face. A tutorial and installation instructions 
appear on sccode.org: http://sccode.org/1-5aq

It introduces a lilypond-like syntax that allows specifying patterns 
using a kind of text-based music notation.

You can then either take the notation as-is and convert it to a pattern 
or you can extract from it separate

properties, like pitches, volumes, durations, legato and staccato, etc. 
Extracting such properties can also be useful

to use a starting point e.g. for calculating algorithmic variations. The 
text based notation has some provisions

for animating properties over time (e.g. animating volume to create a 
crescendo/decrescendo).

Maybe useful?

Best regards,

Stefaan.
