Abstract:

The main purpose of this paper is to describe the MUSAS program, which is a environment that aims to conjugate the Forte's theory of the pitch-class sets with newly created musical spaces. In the introduction are the main forces, under our point of view, that drove us to project and to implement such a king of program. Following, there is a section on the fundamentals of the program theoretical background (pitch-class sets and space generation). In third place, we talk about the implementation and, to finish, there is a conclusion where we explain some critical considerations on the project up to its current state.
