This is the repository of an ancient version of Common Music (version
2.12.0), the presumably last version which ran on Common Lisp dating
from around 2007-09, before work on Common Music shifted to
(scheme-based) cm3. It is not maintained by Rick Taube, but put here
mainly to provide a functional Common Lisp version as a basis for
extending it to be combined with other Common Lisp based realtime
music systems, especially incudine
(http://incudine.sourceforge.net). For the (much extended) current
version please refer to
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/commonmusic. The following README
is the orginial text from the old version. It is not up to date:
