Of course not! My point is that a computer never can be tought how to
write interesting music, unless a human being helps it a lot. In that
case the music is hardly created by a comuter program, which was the
prerequisite of the original posting.

In the past I listened to many "compositions" created by computer programs.
All of them were boring after a very short time. By the way, your ChildSong6
sounds nice, how was the division of labour between you and your computer?
