I love the idea of "compiling" a book.
Do people do this with music? I really like the idea of programmatically making music and compiling it.

...it really helped me understand why "$SCORE = ( $MELODY + $BASS )" was sometimes superior to viewing sheet music as a "wall of notes and chords". You have to "play the wall" as it comes at you, but mentally, thinking of it as "melody goes la la la, bass goes boom bang boom" helps to provide context to what are the roles of the two notes you're playing.
Funnily enough thats the original usage or common definition of "compile".

Here it's really a two pass compiling. One by human and one by the machine.
