Steve,

If you compose four bars each consisting of four straight crotchets, then 
there are 184884250000000000 possible tunes that can be written, so I think 
it'll be some time before all tunes have been composed. If each tune takes 
one second to compose then the earth will be swallowed by the sun before all 
the tunes are composed.
It makes you think, don't it?

Cheers

Bob Smith
