Abstract

The theory of compositional systems (Pitombeira, 2020) understands musical composition as a methodology that covers three epistemological levels, and at the deepest level, we deal with a structure formed solely by relationships and generic objects specified in the engineering of compositional systems. At the stage of compositional planning, an intermediate epistemological level, the output produced by the systems needs to be understood and organized, within the level of abstraction and complexity characteristic of them, and this work proposes a process for organizing output data in order to offer choices and explain the compositional strategies adopted.
