I think what Vaniver means is: It seems that Emily Howell works pretty damn well, contrary to your claim that nothing does. (By, so far as I understand, means very different from any sort of neural network.)
I know the conversation here has run its course, but I just wanted to add: whether or not Emily Howell is seen as something that “works really well” as an automated system is probably up for debate. It seems to require quite a bit of input from Cope himself in order to come up with sensible, interesting music. For example, one of the most popular pieces from Emily Howell is this fugue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLR-_c_uCwI—we really don’t know how much influence Cope had in creating this piece of music, because the process of composition was not transparent at all.

I was thinking more like these examples:
