AlgoScore is a graphical environment for algorithmic composition, where music is constructed directly in an interactive graphical score.

Graphical objects are placed in a timeline and connected together. Some objects are user-interactive and depend on user data, while some are generative and react on input from other objects.

Objects can visualize their data directly in the score, which is a helpful aid in the process of algorithmic composition. When the composer changes a connection, moves an object, or alters some property of an object, the resultant change is immediately updated in the visual representation.

The result is output as MIDI and/or audio (through Csound) by connecting objects to special output busses. The generated audio can be played back through JACK or exported to an audiofile. It can also control other applications through JACK signal busses.

AlgoScore has a non-realtime perspective, where the composer can relate freely to time and construct the composition outside of time.

AlgoScore is highly customizable and extendible with the Nasal scripting language.
