Ah ... I think they could check David Cope's output ...
Google: David Cope fugue
5600 hits.
Maybe Eliot could do a quick check of the fugue and Cope's algorithms
to look for such features as "missed opportunities for canon by
inversion" (not in the Proustian sense, fo course), or, "lost voices"
(for example where the tenor stops, and then appears as the alto).
99.9% is purer than Ivory soap.
I love this page:
http://nodirecton.blogspot.com/2007/11/vintage-ads-ivory-soap-9944100-pure.html
Please be warned: a Google of David Cope fugue 99.44/100 returns no
results, while David Cope fugue 99.9 returns 118 hits. Do you
see the connection?
Best
Kevin
