In fact, reading the patent your probably safe.

What is claimed is:
    1. An apparatus for dynamically composing a musical sound track, said
apparatus comprising:

	a composition database comprising musical performance data corresponding
	to one or more musical sequences, said composition database further
	including one or more conditional messages, said conditional messages
	integrated with said musical performance data forming a decision tree;

	means for providing real-time;
	means for evaluating said decision tree depending on said real-time input;
	and means for forming said musical sound track.


Well, your implementation doesn't contain the first element - the database
is I assume part of the data files you are using - hence not an inherent
part of your iMUSE clone itself.
