Abstract
The use of Constraint Programming in Music is not new and is still very active today. This paper presents some advances and examples in the use of a completely new approach, constraint programming in music using relation domains. It defines a new high‐level constraint, the filter constraint. This constraint is used in the modeling of a musical problem, the harmonized round problem. The paper presents the modeling of this problem and of some variants. In addition, another section describes a new concept, the constrained rewriting system. Its use is promising for some future practices in computer‐aided composition. Rewriting systems have indeed been used in music for a long time and this new approach allows constraining those structures: production results and production rules can be constrained in order to ensure some desired properties. Some preliminary results are given regarding this new concept.
