Compositional Applications of Stochastic Processes.Next note = Max(prob(note) * rand) SampleRefinement●Multi-Level tables○Two-level tables○Three-level tables○Four-level tables●Meta tables○2x2 tableSo how did it do?●Random generation: 3.03; 5.32; 2.33●Plain Table: 3.02; 5.25; 2.23●4-level Table: 3.04; 5.33; 1.94●2x2 Table: n/a; n/a; 3.01●In short, this didn't work very wellConclusions●The size of a measure influences its composition greatly (a two note measure is different than the first two notes of a three note measure)●The meta-table is promising, but a larger subset of data is needed (e.g. to make a 3x3, 4x4...
