Programming? What do you think I am asking you to do?

I am not sure which PDF you downloaded, but I am pretty sure there is no 
freely available detailed description of Gordon's patterns.

The details are provided in:

Given that there is no experience with Gordon's method here, as far as I 
can tell, I am curious whether the developers are interested in adding 
it to the solfege software or eager to collaborate on adding it. I have 
some experience with python programming so perhaps I can be of some 
assistance. I can also solicit programming and musical help from the 
Music Learning Theory (MLT) community.

I don't think there is much feature development needed. It looks like 
solfege already offers most of what is needed. Adding MLT should not 
involve much more than designing a new set of exercises.
