The Contemporary Music Analysis Package (CMAP) is a set of programs to assist theo- rists and composers in using set theory for analysis and composition. Originally implemented for the Unix operating system, CMAP provides the experienced user with a comprehensive set of tools for cal- culating set class membership, row matrices and partitions, set relations, and other information. Interest in making these tools available for other computer systems has been great. However, develop- ing a version of CMAP for Macintosh has proved to be a challenge, due to the inherent differences between character-based and graphic user interfaces. At the same time, the Macintosh system soft- ware has facilitated the implementation of several features into CMAP that were not included in the original Unix version.Read less <
