I program in J almost exclusively, since the pursuit of my brainstorms
(music-bound or not) tends to favor handy ad-hoc number crunching.
That is J's "manner".  Using it for music, I make .ly the output format,
as anyone might from whatever preferred language.  So, except as a
free-floating take on J, I'm not sure where the "Ha" comes in.
