• Rubato for NeXT& Mac

• Rubato composer

• Writing Rubato composer rubettes

Main improvements of Rubato composer:• Java replaces Objective C (platform independence!)

• dynamic creation of rubette networks

• rubette format standardized:

• input/output of denotators• properties• views

• rubette repertory increased and diversified

• rubette writing simplified

• forms and denotators can be created dyamically

☞ Rubato composer (1)define denotators, forms, networksrubettes: melody, rhythmize, set, ModuleMap, etc.

• Integrating a rubette class into rubato1. Define a directory DDD where to work.

2. Put a copy of rubato.jar into DDD.

3. Write a java class XXXRubette.java for a rubette named XXXRubette.

4. Put XXXRubette.java into DDD.

5. Write a manifest file XXXManifest containing the name XXXRubette.

6. Put XXXManifest into DDD.

7. Open a Terminal window.

8. Change the directory to DDD by command cd DDD

9. Compile the java file by the command javac -classpath rubato.jar XXXRubette.java

10. Now, you should have these four files in directory DDD: XXXRubette.java, XXXRubette.class, rubato.jar, XXXManifest

11. Create the jar file for this new rubette by command jar cvmf XXXManifest XXXRubette.jar XXXRubette.class

12. When the jar file is generated, drag it to the directory ~/rubato/Plugins (1. cd to your home directory 2. command mkdir rubato 3. command mkdir Plugins

13. Now, you can open rubato.jar and see the new XXXRubette.
