Yes, I wrote an article on music programming languages, which will
be appearing in an upcoming issue of Keyboard magazine Real Soon Now,
Maybe.  (I've been paid, so I know they'll print it.)
   I was unable to find a copy of MidiLisp, though I e-mailed IRCAM
about it.  Someone I know had a working copy a year or two ago, but it
required the almighty-expensive LeLisp ($700+) to run.  Jim Miller's
IBM program Personal Composer includes a LISP dialect which is,
predictably enough, unusably slow on a stock IBM-PC.
    I wish I'd known about ORBS when I was writing the article.  Anyone
with more intelligence about programming languages, let us know here!
This sort of stuff is all too prone to be buried by requests for patches,
pricing, and other consumer info.
