In the context of this work, polyphony can refer to any arrangement of musical entities (notes, chords, measures, etc.) that is not purely sequential in the time dimension. Given that the natural output of a grammar is a sequence, the generation of sequential structures, such as melodies, harmonic progressions, and rhythmic patterns, follows intuitively. By contrast, we associate each musical entity with an independent temporal scope, allowing the representation of arbitrary note arrangements on every level of the grammar. With overlapping entities we can model chords, drum patterns, and parallel voices – polyphony on small and large scales. We further propose the propagation of sub-grammar results through the derivation tree for synchronizing independently generated voices. For example, we can synchronize the notes of a melody and bass line by reading from a shared harmonic progression.", month = aug, isbn = "978-1-4503-8613-5/21/08", publisher = "ACM Press", location = "Virtual", address = "New York, NY, USA", event = "ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on Functional Art, Music, Modelling, and Design", doi = "10.1145/3471872.3472971", booktitle = "Proceedings of the 9th ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on Functional Art, Music, Modelling, and Design (FARM ’21)", pages = "12", pages = "23--34", keywords = "algorithmic composition, music, domain specific language", URL = "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2021/eibens-2021-tsgpmg/", } @article{santos-2017-dacge, title = "Distinctive Approaches to Computer Graphics Education", author = "Beatriz Sousa Santos and Jean-Michel Dischler and Valery Adzhiev and Eike Falk Anderson and Andrej Ferko and Oleg Fryazinov and Martin Il\v{c}\'{i}k and Ivana Il\v{c}\'{i}kov\'{a} and P.

Common procedural approaches, such as shape grammars, assume that building fa\c{c}ades are organized in a tree structure, while in practice this is often not the case. Consequently, the complexity of their layout description becomes unmanageable for interactive editing. In contrast, we obtain a fa\c{c}ade by composing multiple overlapping layers, where each layer contains a single rectilinear grid of fa\c{c}ade elements described by two simple generator patterns. This way, the design process becomes more intuitive and the editing effort for complex layouts is significantly reduced. To achieve this, we present a method for the automated merging of different layers in the form of a mixed discrete and continuous optimization problem. Finally, we provide several modeling examples and a comparison to shape grammars in order to highlight the advantages of our method when designing realistic building fa\c{c}ades.
