Dear Professor Hughes,

\J
	I must apologize for such a long delay in replying to your letter
of May 17.  I have had an extremely busy summer and only now am I able to
"catch my breath."  Your plainsong project sounds to be very large indeed.
I have no doubt that my printing system could handle this quite well.

	I don't think I would be interested in selling outright my program
but some kind of licensing arrangement might be made.  I discussed your
interest in my program with one of my composition students, Bruce Pennycook,
a Canadian.  Mr. Pennycook has just finished his doctorate at Stanford and
is now taking a position as Assistant Professor of Music at Queens University
in Kingston, Ont.  Mr. Pennycook is very knowledgeable in computer applications
in music and is quite adept in the use of the music printing program.  He is
planning to make a major effort to establish a comprehensive computer music
center at Kingston.  It seems to me that my system would be well situated in
such a dedicated center.

	As I understand it the Canada Council often supports the preparation
of performance materials for Canadian composers as well as supporting
scholarly musical publications.  All these projects could be done at the 
Kingston center with the major work being done by music students on a
"work-study" arrangement.  In this way high quality performance and 
publication material would be available and there would be a new means of
support for some music students.  The operation could profit from having
a full-time professional editor if the production volume were high.

	My continuing connection with this project would be primarily as a
consultant.  The basic licensing agreement would include some sort of fee
based on volume of use and a consulting contract for an initial 2 or 3 year
period.  Depending on the various legal aspects the services of this center
eventually could probably become available to the entire musical community.
In this case some separate royalty arrangement could be made.

	I might add that a Professor Sawyer, from Vancouver, visited me
recently.  He is working on a catalogue of music for some extinct bowed
instrument (much of the music is in tablature.)  His project could certainly
profit from the use of my program.  If funding from several different projects
were combined I would imagine that a computer music printing center could be
established.

	These are my current thoughts and of course details may change as
specific opportunities develop.  At this point I would suggest you get in
touch with Bruce Pennycook at Kingston and discuss the feasibility of this
project.  I would be glad to hear your further ideas on this matter.

\.
