Eric:
I just looked at all of those things, and OpenMusic as well, which is also a functional (and visual) language. Thus, all of these languages were either dataflow or functional, both of which are not concrete representations of the music, but are rather languages used to represent programs that generate music. Tanscript, on the other hand, is literally musical notation, that is augmented in power by the ability to write subclasses of notes that can contain conditional nodes that condition on program state. (Songs can also contain instructions that do logic on the program state; these instructions execute instantaneously. In my current architecture, this causes a tiny lag, but I can fix that later by making the interpreter look ahead to find the next note in time to play it at the correct time.)
