+------------------- what is this?
+
+this is an attempt to build an intelligent system for realtime
+improvisation, a system that follows a human player and proposes
+rhythm, melody, chords sequences, formal structure.
+it learns the style in realtime.
+it uses various AI techniques: GA, searchs, ANN (maybe)
+
+description of files:
+
+chord_melo.c
+a GA melody generator. it takes a melody as input and evolves it over time.
+uses co-evolutionary techniques (Todd)
+
+chords_memory.c
+it is a directional graph which implements a memory of the played
+chords sequences, you can train it...
+and once trained you can ask questions like:
+in C major, from a D minor 7h where did I go most if the times?
+or
+in C major, from a D minor 7h build a chord sequence to bring me
+in D major in 4 steps using the chords sequences I used most
+
+harmonizer.c
+a GA external that build choir voicing for 5 voices:
+you pass it the midi value of each voice, starting chord, next chord
+and it outputs a list with the midi values of each voice.
+avoids hidden 8ves and 5ths.
+

+folders:
+
+doc/
+implementation documents, notes, logs, ideas, etc..
+patches/
+example patches, help patches, some used in performances, etc..
+aima/
+python patches not yes used but interesting for agents
+ruby/
+gridflow patches not yet used

+testing code, not to be used
+backup/
+previous versions
+
+
+TODO:
+
+gluer/solderer
+an external that takes the input of two or more chord_melody,
+a chord sequence and glues the melody statemets together
+to build a long complete melody.
+
+form_manager
+an external that manages the form and structure of the piece:
+decide which melody statement to use, the chord sequence to ask for, etc..
+
+various objects to detect played notes
+
+diatonic_melody.c
+same as chord_melody but without chord reference, only scale used
+(for post-tonal music non based on chords)
+
+chromatic_melo.c
+same as diatonic_melo but without any reference (for atonal music)
