Evolving Musical Scores Using the Genetic Algorithm

This paper describes a method for applying the genetic algorithm onto musical scores, causing them to evolve to better match a target musical score. The encoding used is outlined, followed by a discussion of the tradeoffs of using this specific encoding. The method of evaluating fitness is also explained, followed by several examples from well known musical scores and runs of the GA based on them. The paper concludes with a look towards the future, and possible modifications that would improve this method.
