In around 2009, I've bought a great Textbook of Harmony (Czech: Učebnice harmonie) by Jaroslav Kofroň and started to compose my own songs. You can find their sources here.
My diploma thesis was about random compositions by a computer, then I went on to try writing a musical Prolog library.
As of now, I'd like to rewrite my songs to Python, which I find as the best and the most playful/effective/easy/fast-to-deliver language, and then move on to composing more in a framework which will emerge in the meantime.

Procession of songs is automated by the script make.py which is capable of producing:
- MIDI files
- PDF files with sheet music
- FLAC/OGG files with rendered MIDI files
- PNG previews of PDFs
- Python 3 (scripting, song scripting)
- LilyPond (
.ly→.midi/.pdf) - MuseScore (
.mscz/.mscx→.midi/.pdf; also capable of importing.midi) - TiMidity++ (
.midi→.ogg/.flac/direct play) - some SoundFont for TiMidity++, e.g. Fluid R3 GM
- ImageMagick (
