I am working on composition algorithms to generate instrumental music. Has anyone done work on modeling the human hand? The basic idea is this:

-Generate a note -Look at a collection of notes currently playing or recently played by the fingers of a hand. -Accept, modify or reject the new note based on the feasibility of playing it.

This has applications to keyboard music and to harp.
