I get that the Notes table is using GEN17. Line 24 reads:
iNotetablernd(1),giNotes,1 ;read a random value from the function table
However, it appears that the first instance of i2 in the score always starts on the same note, the second instamce on another note etc. but alwaus in the same order. If I comment out the first instance of i2 the second line of the score now starts on the same note as the first line previously did, just at a different time.
So the notes don't really appear to occur randomly but in a specific pattern. Is this because GEN17 is described as a step function?

Try adding "seed 0", which seeds the random number generator based on the system clock, and should give a different sequence every time. Most random number generators on a computer are really "pseudo-random", meaning that you will always get the same results given identical starting conditions.
