James, the stuff you're talking about is along the lines of an Artificial
INtelligence project, which does make it interesting, tho a bit much for a
Coco3 and the C language. Playing "identically" is aided thru a standard hack
called "quantization", where you can reduce everything to 16th notes or larger
by throwing out time deltas smaller than 32nd or 64ths, etc.

More basic problem is getting your played notes into the right parts-keyboard
music is so anarchistic, with no limit on the number or identity or continuity
of voices, that it's a wonder what the $500+ programs for Macs can do.  --mike
