Modeling musical beginning

[Pablo Hernan Rodriguez Zivic <elsonidoq@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone!

I don't know if you remember me, I'm the crazy one trying to make the 
computer compose melodies =D

I'm going very fast and it seems that I'll finish my grad thesis soon... 
however I'm kind of stuck with one detail:
   The model that I'm using for the melodic contour, needs another 
model for the musical beginning because it's a conditional model based 
on the lasts notes that have been played.

I've heard of a study that analyzes a lot a scores in order to find some 
pattern in how music begins.

Does anyone know about that?

Thanks a lot!!

Pablo
