I AM SORRY I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET BACK TO YOU.  (THE END OF THE SCHOOL
YEAR IS ALWAYS FULL TIME-CONSUMING CRISES.)
 
FRIDAY, JUNE 6, WOULD BE A GOOD DAY FOR YOU TO FIND ME AT SAIL (MARGARET JACKS
HALL.  I WORK IN THE 'DUNGEON' BEHIND THE MACHINE ROOM.)  I WILL MOST LIKELY 
BE THERE 10-12 AND 2-5.  AT THAT TIME I CAN SHOW YOU THE MUSIC PRINTING SYSTEM 
AND PERHAPS HAVE SOMEONE LINED UP TO HELP OUT.  BRING ALONG SOME EXAMPLES OF THE 
WORK YOU WANT TO DO.
				LELAND SMITH

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".

I HAVE SEEN ALL MESSAGES UP TO TUES MORNING, 8/19/80.   I WAS VERY GLAD
TO HEAR THAT YOU CAN PRINT MUSIC NOW AT DEC.  I WILL MOVE FILES THAT ARE
READY FOR YOUR PROOF READING TO 1,AK.  THEN YOU MUST DO THE FOLLOWING TO
CREATE A .PLT FILE WHICH YOU CAN THEN FTP.  TODAY I WILL MOVE OVER #12,
CRUDELISSIMA AITA.  IT IS ON FILES 12AAA.12, ETC.
 
	R MP<CR>
	12AAA.12 3<CR>	  [THE 3 MEANS THERE ARE 3 FILES FOR THIS PAGE.]
	1<CR>
	CRUDA<CR>	  [THE OUTPUT FILE WILL BE CRUDA.PLT]
 
THE PROGRAM TELLS YOU WHEN IT IS DONE.
 
FOR THIS MADRIGAL THERE ARE 5 PAGES SO THE FIRST FILE NAMES FOR EACH
PAGE WILL BE:  12AAA.12, 12ABA.12, 12ACA.12, 12ADA.12, 12AEA.12
 
I ALSO HAVE FINISHED #3, TRA LE DOLCEZZE, 5 PAGES STARTING WITH 3AAAA.3,
AND #4, E MENTR'IL DUOL, 3 PAGES STARTING WITH 4AAAA.4
 
I HAVE MADE UP AN OLDFASHIONED F CLEF.  I HOPE IT IS SATISFACTORY.
ALSO I SET UP THE TITLE (THE 'SECONDA PARTE') A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY.
I NOTICED SEVERAL SMALL NUMBERS IN THE PENCIL COPY THAT I GATHER
REFER TO FOOTNOTES.  I PUT THESE IN.  THEY CAN BE CIRCLED IF DESIRED.
I INSERTED A MARK FOR THE ELISION OF 'MA A'.  LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU
THINK ABOUT ALL THESE THINGS.
 
I THINK I FIXED THE PROBLEMS YOU HAVE HAD WITH #17. (A BUG IN 'DASHES') 
 NO I DO NOT HAVE THE DRAFT OF #17. 
 I NOW HAVE 3,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,14, AND 15.
  
I HAVE DONE SOME CLEANUP WORK ON [1,AK].  I HAVE DELETED ALL THE MUSIC
FILES WHICH I HAVE COPIED OVER TO MY AREAS ON THE DSK.  THEY ARE ALL
CURRENTLY RESIDING ON A UDP, (MUSIC5), UNDER [AK,LCS].


MADRIGALS NUMBERS 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,14,15,16,17 ARE DONE.                    
I HAVE LOST TRACK OF JUST WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN SO I WILL PUT THEM ALL ON
[1,AK].  I HAVE COPIES OF EVERYTHING SO IT IS OK TO DELETE ANYTHING
ON [1,AK].  I WILL BE LEAVING AT THE END OF THE WEEK FOR MEXICO AND WON'T 
BE BACK UNTIL ABOUT SEPT. 15.  IF YOU COULD PRINT ALL THESE IN MASS. AND 
THEN SEND ME CORRECTIONS MARKED IN RED I WILL BE ABLE TO GET AT THE FINAL, 
LARGE PRINTS AS SOON AS I RETURN.


THE PROBLEM WITH 'MS' HANGING ONLY COMES UP WHEN IT IS USED ON THE
ARPA NETWORK.  I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN THIS REGARD SO I JUST PUT
IN A SIMPLE PATCH TO AVOID THE DISPLAY OUTPUT.  IF I HAVE TO LOG IN ON
ONE OF THE TIPS I DO THE FOLLOWING.

I RECEIVED YOUR US MAIL AND NET MAIL.   I'M VERY BUSY AT THE MOMENT BUT
I WILL TRY TO SEND YOU A LONGER COMMUNICATION IN A FEW DAYS.


MADRIGAL 23 IS NOW READY FOR YOU.  YOU MIGHT CHECK ON HOW THE WORD
"GIOISCE" IS BROKEN IN BAR 29, ALTO.  ALSO, IS THE VERY LAST NOTE OF
THE ALTO PART CORRECT?  THE 1ST ENDING HAS 'F', BUT THE 2ND ENDING
JUMPS UP TO 'C'.



I have sent off today (US mail) a package containing 14 large sheets
(size 1.6).  This includes madrigals #3,4,5 and 6.  If any new errors
are discovered just send back the marked large sheets.
 
There were some capital 'O's with accents on page 10.  I removed the accents
because my system does not normally put accents on capitals.  If they were
thought necessary they could be put in by hand or it would be no great
trouble for me to add them as separate symbols.  Also on page 14, bar 21,
I added a 'musica ficta' sharp over a G.  If you don't agree, just use
some 'white-out' on it.
 
I have not gone over the pieces carefully but bar 2 of Tra Le Dolcexxe (#3)
seems quite strange.  Perhaps the Alto's note over the word "dol" should be
a D.  However even with that change the passage from bar 1 to 4  is unusual
-- even for this composer.

I haven't heard from you for quite a while.  On Wednesday night  (Nov
12)  I  will be going to NYC for the Computer Music Conference.  From
there I go to Johns Hopkins U. for a few days.  So I will be away for
almost  2  weeks.  When  I  get  back  I will have some time for more
Madrigals.  Just thought I'd let you know in case you send a  message
and wonder why you don't get a response.
