Strasheela is a highly expressive constraint-based music composition system. The Strasheela user declaratively states a music theory and the computer generates music which complies with this theory.

A theory is formulated as a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) by a set of rules (constraints) applied to a music representation in which some aspects are expressed by variables (unknowns).

Music constraint programming is style-independent and is well-suited for highly complex theories (e.g. a fully-fledged theory of harmony). The results can be output into various formats including MIDI, Lilypond, and Csound.

What's New in This Release:
The installation instructions and other documentation have been revised.
Support for more output formats has been added, namely ENP and Fomus, thus allowing export to Finale and Sibelius.
Other extensions have been added, and bugfixes have been made.
