I've dunnit. Using a simple BASIC program I generated a new tune given
an existing one. I only used monophonic tunes, and the result wasn't
very interesting; it just sounded like a small variation of the
original tune.

I got some rather simple  correlations: the more indices in the matrix
(=number of preceding notes), the closer the result was to the
original tune. Also, the longer the tune, the more alike were the
result.

Any others who've tried Markovian music-generation?
