Just wondering if anyone has any comments on the Nyquist blitz in the current issue of Computer Music Journal. Dannenberg makes many explicit comparisons between Nyquist and the Music N languages. I downloaded the Nyquist manual and run-time--as a non-programmer, I wonder whether the gains from Nyquist (integrated score, "intelligent environment," table-less sound creation, etc.) compensate for the need to learn Lisp as well as Nyquist.
