Abstract

In musical creativity, actions are very important. They always deal with two components: the agent who acts in a determined way, and the object on which this action is being performed. Of course, not just any action can be performed on any object, so one has to specify agent/action as well as domain of objects that are suitable for a determined action. In this chapter we develop the formalism of group actions and provide introductory examples.
