FUNCTION: CompCompo - compare two compositions

CALLING SEQUENCE:

CompCompo(compo_1, compo_2, kind)

COMP[CompCompo](compo_1, compo_2, kind)

PARAMETERS:

compo_1, compo_2 = any lists denoting compositions

kind = 'lexic', 'cixel', 'finer'

SYNOPSIS:

• The CompCompo function compares two compositions. The ordering is set by the argument kind, and the function returns true if compo_1 >= compo_2 according to the chosen ordering.

• Decomposing parts of the first composition gives the list of 'finer' compositions.

• Whenever there is a conflict between the function name CompCompo and another name used in the same session, use the long form COMP['CompCompo'].

EXAMPLES:

> with(COMP):
> CompCompo([3,2,4], [3,1,1,4], 'finer');
 
                                     true
 
> CompCompo([3,1,1,4], [3,2,4], 'lexic');
 
                                    false
 
> CompCompo([3,2,4], [3,1,1,4], 'cixel');
 
                                     true
