Editing Computer music (section)

===Computer-generated scores for performance by human players===
Computers have also been used in an attempt to imitate the music of great composers of the past, such as [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart|Mozart]]. A present exponent of this technique is [[David Cope]], whose computer programs analyses works of other composers to produce new works in a similar style. Cope's best-known program is [[Emily Howell]].<ref>{{Cite news|last=Leach|first=Ben|date=2009-10-22|title=Emily Howell: the computer program that composes classical music|newspaper=[[The Daily Telegraph]]|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/music-news/6404737/Emily-Howell-the-computer-program-that-composes-classical-music.html|access-date=2017-10-06}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Cheng|first=Jacqui|date=30 September 2009|title=Virtual Composer Makes Beautiful Music and Stirs Controversy|url=https://arstechnica.com/science/2009/09/virtual-composer-makes-beautiful-musicand-stirs-controversy/|work=[[Ars Technica]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Ball|first=Philip|author-link=Philip Ball|date=2012-07-01|title=Iamus, classical music's computer composer, live from Malaga|url=http://www.theguardian.com/music/2012/jul/01/iamus-computer-composes-classical-music|url-status=live|access-date=2021-11-15|website=[[The Guardian]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131025233252/http://www.theguardian.com/music/2012/jul/01/iamus-computer-composes-classical-music |archive-date=25 October 2013 }}</ref>

[[Melomics]], a research project from the [[University of Málaga]] (Spain), developed a computer composition cluster named [[Iamus (computer)|Iamus]], which composes complex, multi-instrument pieces for editing and performance. Since its inception, [[Iamus (computer)|Iamus]] has composed a full album in 2012, also named [[Iamus (album)|''Iamus'']], which ''[[New Scientist]]'' described as "the first major work composed by a computer and performed by a full orchestra".<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Computer composer honours Turing's centenary|magazine=[[New Scientist]]|date=5 July 2012 |url=https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21528724.300-computer-composer-honours-turings-centenary.html}}</ref> The group has also developed an [[API]] for developers to utilize the technology, and makes its music available on its website.
