If you allowed only one octave of notes (ie C to C) plus a rest,
and limited the timing to 16th notes, then for just one measure,
there are 2,177,953,337,809,371,136 combinations.

Allow two octaves, and the number rises to 43,608,742,899,428,874,059,776

And that's just one measure of a one part melody.




Sure, (well, didn't check yer math) But how many of those possible combinations will sound good?

How many will get you a gig?

I've never understood those artsy-fartsy types that will force their junk onto folks even if they have to tie 'em to the barstools to keep 'em...
