I’m using version 3.9.0 - I’m pretty sure I’m using common lisp.  The example 
is “interaction 2.  Generating a MIDI event to a MIDI file.” in chapter 12 
(Etudes, Op.4: Score Generation).

I’ve noticed that some of the examples in the book don’t work anymore - 
perfectly understandable.  To be honest, it’s been “fun” trying to chase down 
some of the problems on my own.  Helps me learn the language and concepts.  I 
just can’t seem to chase this one down on my own.  

My plan is to write to a MIDI file and then dump that into Logic for playback.  
(eventually I plan to use CM to control CSound, but it seems to be a ways off….)
Thanks for any help.
