 The first thing to do is think of the basic idea of how I want to structure my project. Since this is, like it was pointed out in class, essentially just a fancy sorter, I had two main ideas for how to make/interpret the "music" (quotes added because it probably won't sound like music). The first thing to do is think of the basic idea of how I want to structure my project.

 As of my most recent idea of how this will work, notes will be stationary and will only know their vertical position and whether they are sharp, flat, or natural. Their vertical position in the MFM will be used to determine what pitch they represent. Each vertical step up in the MFM will represent one scale step up. As of my most recent idea of how this will work, notes will be stationary and will only know their vertical position and whether they are sharp, flat, or natural.

 A Sorter will float around the MFM and if it sees a Res, it will either turn it into a Note or into another Sorter. If it sees a Note, it has a probability of moving it based on what the notes around it are and some very basic Music Theory rules (like creating or resolving tension). A Sorter will have to know things like their vertical position (so they know what pitches they are near), the scale/mode that is being used, the time signature that's being used (not going to touch this for a while), and the tempo (not going to touch this for a while). I might include some other things like how lenient you want the sorter to be with things like tension and dissonance. For the first iteration of this project, all the sorters will be the same. In the future I might want multiple types of sorters all running at once to create some interesting contrast in the music. A Sorter will float around the MFM and if it sees a Res, it will either turn it into a Note or into another Sorter.
