Is it a silly question to ask what you do with these scores when you
have succeeded in printing them. I can just about see why you might
specify rules that generate multiple rhythms to make interesting (to
some) patterns of sound. What I can't understand is why you would want
to print out a score that is basically impossible to play, and is, in
any case, written in a notation that is debatably incapable of
expressing it.

I've also not met many people who enjoy making programs crash and yet
don't seem to be interested in exactly why they crash under those
circumstances. In my day, I loved working with people who used my
software in ways far beyond the capabilities I had designed into it,
and when they ran into problems, we would work together on improving
the design or implementation for their benefit, and for future users.

Cheers,
David.
