Re: Spoken Rubbish

The program didn't work; it finished without any speech. I therefore added some code to print the value of SAYING().

Mass on Spring Resonance

A mass on or attached to a spring enters resonance upon being excited. Unlike a pendulum, its frequency does not depend on gravity. See http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/shm2.html The accompanying program provides a simulation of such a resonance. The program is suitable for iPad and iPhone...

Re: Chorale from St Matthew Passion

Sad but beautiful music.
It becomes a bit more cheerful if you increase the tempo.
The ending seems a bit abrupt.

Re: Extension of NOTES

I really don't understand anything about accelerando, diminuendo, ritardando, etc., but I think your program is a special achievement.
