Can the "Generate" function be optioned to favour quarter notes (to
make a "walking bass" line, for instance)?

REPLY:

Yes, but it requires editing the grammar. Look in file
vocab/My.grammar. You can reduce the weights
on productions that generate other notes, or remove
those productions.

For example, this production

(rule (V4) (V8 V8) 0.72)

splits quarter-note values into eight-note values, so if
you don't want any of the later, you can take it out, or
you can change the weight 0.72 to 0.

It is a little tricky modifying the grammar, so I suggest
backing up your file.
