An extensive dictionary of the languages used for programming music.

An example:
'Nyquist: A functional programming language for composition and sound
synthesis. Uses a Lisp syntax, a signal processing and signal
representation core, and a rich semantics dealing with time and
transformations.'
Which ones have you used, if any?
very many years ago there was AMPLE written for the BBC computer Music 500 -
5000 add-on modules. Unfortunately I think it was tied specifically to that
hardware, and has long since disappeared.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
