I've tried google to not much avail I'm afraid. Unless you can point
me in a more specific direction on how to browse the R category stuff
(like i mentioned I'm a very noobs user).

Unfortunately due to google's reliance on page rank; it gives you the
most popular most linked and most viewed pages and not the most
accurate or relevant.

Most of the tutorial/how to/help/ fix articles I've found are on how
to analyze individual tracks and correlate with other analyzed packets
but manually and one by one.

I wish to analyze an entire library to discover patterns and
algorithms within to then create an algorithm which applies those
patterns on permutation to near infinitely execute algorithmic
writing/reinterpretation of the found patterns and data sets.

In short;

I have a library of X amount of tracks,

I wish R code to find all:

1) tempo modulation patterns correlated to the pattern of used scales
and sequences to initiate those tempo modulations

2) the pitch an note pattern motifs for arpeggios used within that
data set and the algorithmic range they create when correlated

3) the min/max range on pitch, note, riffs and ad-lib/ step aka
extraneous added sfx (the range of the outliers and the pattern
algorithm of them within the library)

4) the pattern of min/max range of phrases/bars within the library

I will then essentially use this data and plug the parameters into a
synthesizer emulator application which will infinitely (until turned
off) attempt to emulate the "type" of music the library represents
using algorithms to continuously write sound data uniquely within the
4) pattern parameters above that I mentioned.

so far nothing I have found other than the data on R code logarithms
on chaos theory bifurcation model graphing comes close to the scope I
need help with.

Its a lot of software to take in yea, some I know by heart others like R Code I am a noob at.

I then wish to utilize patterns discovered to create a program which using proper algorithms set to those patterns to digitally synthesize music which conforms to those patterns but that would create said music automatically and potentially non stop; as in it does not stop writing the music and playing it until you turn it off. However; I do not wish this program to create a few tracks and play it on a loop, yes due to the patterns and the algorithms, certain bars and phrases will inevitably repeat but that doesn't mean just loop the same X amount of minutes.
