I do a bit of algorithmic composition as well (mostly microsound/granular synthesis) using NN and other graphical models (e.g. HMMs) for higher level compositional control... for grammar inference check out:

Abstract: We show that a recurrent, second-order neural network using a real-time, forward training algorithm readily learns to infer small regular grammars from positive and negative string training samples. We present simulations that show the effect of initial conditions, training set size and order, and neural network architecture...

That sounds perfect -- thanks!

You're welcome. You might like this as well (the PDF is just the front matter of the book):

Hmm, that link doesn't work for me (probably some kind of session id is needed). Can you post another url?

sorry for the late reply... just saw your post: http://www.springer.com/computer/ai/book/978-3-540-88008-0

Thanks! Looks like I have a lot of reading to do...
