So I have two choices: either apply a (0..10) window to a Normal(3,2)
distribution, or go and learn about asymmetric distributions.
Several things:
- run Rand.rb and it will show you sample distributions of all the distributions it knows. Maybe one will be close to what you're looking for.
- there's an Arb distribution -- you give it a piece-wise linear (step-wise??? I forgot) description of the distribution you want, and that's what you'll get
- track down the sources listed at the top of the file -- the two computer music
sources are easy to read and show graphs of the distributions. Perhaps one
of the standard ones are skewed to your liking.
Here's another site with some images:

Good luck!
