Most of the Clozure work was done by Matt Emerson and Bill St. Clair. In the early days Greg Pfeil did some work on it as well.

Luke Palmer worked on it for a little while also.

I did the Cocoa user interface programming, MIDI playback, the animated piano roll display, the plots, and so forth, with lots of direction and design help from Janusz.  Basically, anything Macintosh-specific was my thing.

There is a *lot* of documentation (in both English and French) and examples included with the software.

Unfortunately, not a whole lot of information out there yet, apart from some composers holding their noses at the very idea of mixing math and music (Heh!).
