It's mathematically impossible to exhaust melodies as we've probably got
alot more scales to tackle. Music is fundamentally a type of mathematics
just look at the work classical composers did to convert the golden ratio
into song structure. There will be more notes as more tunings are found.
The computerization of music has made available new time signatures and new
bpm values. The playing feild continues to change so how could the players
run out of options.
