I HAVE BEEN TRYING OUT SOME OF YOUR DATA. (SO I AM THE
MYSTERY MAN.)  I FINISHED UP #5, "LANGUE L'ANIMA MIA".
AT THIS POINT IN THE SUMMER THERE ARE NOT MANY MUSIC STUDENTS
LEFT AROUND. IT MAY BE THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO FINISH UP YOUR
WORK.  I WILL BE HERE UNTIL AUG. 30, THEN I GO TO MEXICO CITY
FOR A LECTURE - BUT MOSTLY A 2-WEEK VACATION.  I'LL BE BACK
HERE ABOUT THE 15TH OF SEPT. AND SCHOOL DOESN'T START UNTIL
THE 29TH, SO I WILL HAVE A BIT OF TIME THEN.
 
AT THIS POINT THE EASIEST THING TO DO ABOUT THE DASHES IS TO
CONTINUE AS IS AND LET ME EXERCISE MY EDITORIAL JUDGEMENT ON
THE FIRST VERSIONS.  I WILL SEND YOU PROOFS AND JUDIE CAN MARK
IN ALL CHANGES DESIRED.  JUST ABOUT ANYTHING MARKED IN CAN BE
ACCOMPLISHED IN THE FINAL EDITING.  ALSO THERE IS NO PROBLEM
ABOUT USING THE 'OLD NOTATION' SHAPES  FOR THE INDICATIONS AT
THE START OF EACH MADRIGAL.  I WILL PUT THESE IN ON THE
PROOFS.
 
I WILL SEND ALONG A PAGE REDUCED TO 80% OF THE ORIGINAL.
THIS ENDS UP BEING ALMOST EXACTLY 6" WIDE.  PERHAPS A BIT OF
SPACE SHOULD BE ADDED BETWEEN THE COMPLETE SYSTEMS SINCE THE
VERTICAL SIZE IS CONSIDERABLY LESS THAN 9".
 
MY OUTPUT IS USUALLY MADE IN 2 STAGES.  I HAVE A PROGRAM
CALLED MP WHICH PRODUCES A FILE FULL OF VECTORS - USUALLY
FROM 20K TO 50K.  THEN I HAVE ANOTHER PROGRAM, VM, WHICH
TAKES THE VECTORS AND PRODUCES A BIT MAP FOR THE VARIAN.
THIS LAST IS WRITTEN ALL IN FAIL SO PERHAPS YOU COULD USE IT
WITH LITTLE MODIFICATION.  I WILL MOVE A COPY OF IT TO 1,AK
SO YOU CAN FTP IT.  THE PROGRAM IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE ONE
THAT DOES GRAPHICS ON THE XGP SO DICK HELIWELL MIGHT REMEMBER
SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I WILL ALSO LEAVE ON 1,AK A FILE CALLED
PLT.PLT WHICH CAN BE USED TO TEST VM.  PLT.PLT WILL BE THE
1ST PAGE OF "LANGUE L'ANIMA MIA".
