I actually find this goal more distasteful than the one Fons is objecting to. I can understand why people are interested in automatic accompaniment, but mangling human-made music to fit a specific timing map seems like a more proper goal to me -- "manufactured" being somehow preferable to "simulated". (I think this may be an "uncanny valley" situation -- if you haven't met this term before, look it up.)
