The Art of Concert Programming
summary
A new DSL encodes whole concert programs as composable ASTs and actually renders and plays them: Programmart DSL is implemented in Racket with a DrRacket + Scribble realizer front end, embeds toneart scores and a script language, and routes audio through Chuck and live-coding via Strudel. The demo inlines hymns, generates multiple clef versions, composes modules by coordinate/index rewrites, and drives a slideshow and dance playback. It works end-to-end but the resource-to-score cons-list backend is very slow and needs optimization.
