I improved the music generating program even more. Here's its latest output: https://soundcloud.com/user-321964225/bronze -
I've been designing a computer program that largely automates the process of composition for me, and its output has reached a high enough level of quality that I'm going to start sharing some things it has helped me compose. Here's the first significant work I've made with it:

I guess another question I should ask is: do you find the exercises that you do gratifying, beneficial and effective in honing the particular skills that you're practicing with that exercise? I've known many musicians that have struggled with making their practice time more effective and meaningful. -
I don't think there's a good answer to this question, because we would have to survey composers long dead as to their reasons for using 2/2 vs. 4/4 vs. 3/2, etc. It probably has something to do with the time signatures and tempi of popular dance music of the early Baroque period. For example the courante (at least the French version) was in a slow and stately 3/2 time. The bourée and gavotte were in cut or double time, and were faster, more lively dances. These time signatures and tempi likely became associated with each other when early Baroque composers were in their heyday, and the practice continued over time. There is something to be said of the different beats, however. For example, a song in 2/2 and the same song in 2/4 would have different beats emphasized, and my guess is that the 2/2 would "sound" faster, even if it really isn't—something of an optical illusion for the ears. But that's all very subjective. -
