Abstract

This application-oriented study concerns computational musicology, which makes
use of grammar systems. We define multi-generative rule-synchronized
scattered-context grammar systems (without erasing rules) and demonstrates how to
simultaneously make the arrangement of a  musical composition for performance by
a whole orchestra, consisting of several instruments. Primarily, an orchestration
like this is illustrated by examples in terms of classical music. In addition,
the orchestration of jazz compositions is sketched as well. The study concludes
its discussion by suggesting five open problem areas related to this way of
orchestration.
