Probably you're not getting much of a response because you aren't a member
of the mailing list. The header above the list of topics explains. Most
people get messages through the mailing list and don't use this page at all.
If they don't see it, they don't answer.

If you're looking for short examples, try the SC examples/pieces/ folder. On
my Linux machine, that's /usr/local/share/SuperCollider/examples/pieces --
not sure about OSX or Windows.

More broadly, computer music is a lot of things. I would say additive
synthesis and traditional harmony are pretty rare in "computer music" -- at
least what academics call computer music. The term "computer music" seems
mainly found within the academy; outside academic circles, it's usually just
called "electronic music" and refers the music of club cultures. So I'm not
clear how you're differentiating "computer music" from other kinds of
electronic music.
