Scheduling

In computer science scheduling is the process (realized by the scheduler) of establishing an execution order of processes that can be executed. In general we consider an online setting where processes being executed while the scheduler is active. Either the scheduler runs in parallel or sequencially, i.e. it is interrupted by the processes it schedules.

Composing music via code involves the scheduling of musical events via algorithms where an algorithm can be interpreted as a descriptions of a scheduler. But it is more than that. It has a special relation with time.
