That sounds really good. Do the algorithms generalize to other tunings, like for instance seven-limit just intonation?

Thank you! The algorithms are universal and not tied to any particular modality (rhythm/melody/harmony) or particular tuning though they can exploit certain given relationships eg consonance if the algorithm is given knowledge of them. Exploring other tunings and making them available in the UI is definitely on the list. The core algorithm works by creating repetition/variation at multiple levels over time which is modality agnostic.
