Madrigal 323 is ready to go.  Funny thing, I just discovered
that I could have used "4B" in the BEAM line, and saved myself
a lot of counting and typing.  Oh well, maybe next time.

After this, a round of corrections will follow.

319 is ready for you.

Judie will compile her list of musical examples for the text,
and I will forward it to you.

She now feels that it would be premature, and too costly to actually
"publish" the madrigals, and the best course would be to print only
a few copies by a cheap method, such as the 65% reductions, which
seem adequately good for the present purposes.

As she gets to it, she will mark up the 2X copies as needed, and we
will return them to you.  Then, when corrections have been made,
if you can print the 1/.65 size originals, I can easily get those printed
here.

Thanks.

Dear Leland:
You may not remember me from various parking lot and orchestra encounters.
I used to play viola (l962-71) in Stanford Symphony when you, Chownings et al
were there.  Having copied out NEWMUS, I'm wondering if job opportunities
ever crop up in that branch of SAIL.  No hurry.  I'd like to work closer to
the arts someday.    --Jenifer Angel (ll75)

∂25-Feb-81  1931	AK   via DEC-MARLBORO 	"Example" for Judie's thesis text    
Judie needs a bunch of examples extracted from the madrigals to include
in the text section of the thesis.  Since some of them are not
synchronized with a system of staves, I would like to know the best
way to create them.  Is it practical to send you a list of what measures
of which madrigals to put together?

Also, your mailing arrived in good condition.  I have not yet given up
on the 50% reductions, but the ones you included looked pretty good.
Is the number of steps in the staircase forming a beam constant, or
does it vary with plotting scale?$
(The first computer in the chain of machines I am using to access
SAIL just died, and I have hopefully reestablished the connection
without much loss.) (Now where was I?)
The question was whether the staircase got less coarse when reducing
from large originals.

Madrigal input proceeds slowly.  More coming any day now.

Thanks.  Bye.

∂22-Feb-81  1227	AK   via DEC-MARLBORO 	New madrigal, 318
It's ready.  At Judie's request, I have interchanged the positions
of Alto and Quinto, since Quinto seems like a Tenor part.  I have
also shifted the Quinto notes up an octave, and added an octave
shift to the clef.

Although we haven't picked it up yet, we have a note from the Post
Office that there is a package from "94305", which I presume is the
tube of Madrigals.

Thanks.

Sometime ago I think you mentioned a program that converted vectors into a
PRESS file.  Could you let me know its name and where the source may be
found?   Thanks.

-------
My program specifically converts SUDS output into press files.
However, a more general version of the program can convert
calcomp plotter files and should suit you fine.
Unfortunately, this program has not been brought up at SAIL yet.
The code was written at CMU in the language SAIL.

Madrigal 317 is ready.  Please note that I have moved all notes
in the Alto part up an octave, and shifted the staff down an octave
from the manuscript.  It seemed that there were an inordinate number
of notes hanging below the staff.

∂01-Feb-81  1357	AK   via MIT-TIP 	304 and 316 
Thanks for comments on 304,  Judie has not yet returned, but I
will have her check into those items.

On 314, I presume you can work with what you have, so I will make
no changes to my input.

∂30-Jan-81  2025	AK   via DEC-MARLBORO 	Miscellaneous    
First, thank you for the comments.  Judie is out of town this weekend,
but I will check on the points you made with her when she returns.

Third, I have copied 314 to this machine, but there are two errors
I cannot explain:
On "half page" 2 (file 31402), only 2 text lines seem to be digested,
although there are 5.
On file 31411, there is a strange comment about not finding some random
file which comes out after the seventh text line.
I will leave this files around until you can comment.
Madrigal 310 has joined the stack.  We are happy to have you work on
them whenever you get the time.  Our only goal is to get the thesis
turned in this semester.


∂20-Jan-81  0916	AK   via DEC-MARLBORO 	A few new features in MS?  
I suspect you would make up your time to do the programming
if you added 2 features to MS:
1)A command which would go on the line with the "fermatas", etc, which
would specify a musical note position over which to put a "footnote"
number, and that number; such as FTN 3 5, would put footnote 5 over note 3.

2)A command which would put a "parenthetical accidental" on a given note,
such as PAF 3, PAS 3 or PAN 3.
If you can do these, I will add the stuff into my input files.

   Asked HPM about his Mars hack and got the following reply.
   Thought you might be interested. (I'm sure he'd be more than happy to
give a detailed account if I asked...)		Lynne
 
	The original of the viking panaroma (direct from Mars) had
eight bit samples, giving 2↑8 = 256 gray levels. It didn't use them
very effectively, however, and the picture looked very dark overall.
I stretched the contrast till it looked good, and found that only
about half the brightness range was really used. Actually, contrast
is such a problem with the varian that it looked best when stretched
somewhat beyond that; in the panorama some of the brightest areas are
consequently washed out, and some of the darkest are blacked out. But
the stuff of intermediate shade looks good. I'd say the final picture
has about 6.5 bits/sample giving 2↑6.5 = 90.5 gray levels. These are
encoded into the binary halftone in a clever way which does not
create individual 10 by 10 cells, but decides to make each point
on the paper black or white depending on the accumulated gray
average error of all the points painted so far.   Uh I'm sure
you've heard enough ...
 
∂14-Aug-80  1955	AK   via DEC-2136 	Who's got what music
I have decided to try and keep better track of what stage each

203,204,205,206,207,208,209,210,212,214, and 215.  We have sent the
pencil music for all the above, plus (maybe) 216.  We have seen draft
copies of the output for 203,204,205,206 and 208.  Notice that 207
seems to have been lost in the shuffle.  Since Judie is out of town
this week, I'm not exactly sure which drafts have been returned to
you with corrections.
 
Could you confirm this data, and send me any corrections to it?
 
Also, I have checked out Helliwell's print program, and it now seems
to work correctly, so you could point me to any files of output
I don't already have, and I can try to snarf them up over the network.
 
I have input 216, and will get it to you tomorrow, hopefully.
 
∂13-Aug-80  0839	AK   via MIT-TIP 	Draft copies of madrigals
You should either have or be receiving imminently several missing
madrigals.  I can't send you all of them since Judie is editing them
just before I type them in.
 
Helliwell has successfully read and printed your output files.  I
will be seeing him tonite.  You can leave me a note telling me
which files I should print.  For the final copies, the double size

Thank you for picking up the ball.  While I'm not sure we
can afford the services of someone of your stature, I imagine
we can work out some satisfactory arrangement.  Since you
can judge the amount of work necessary considering the quality
of my input, why don't you suggest a fair remuneration.
 
I imagine Rick explained the "SPREAD" program.  If not, ask me.
 
I am proceeding with inputting more madrigals into my local
system.  When you get near running out of work, I will have them
on your machine.  It's somewhat slow editing over the ARPAnet.
 
We ought to come up with some plan to purge the disk space as
things get finalized.  Judie will make final corrections to
"Tra Le Dolcezze" and "E Mentr'il Duol", and send them back to
you, along with the first markup of "Langue L'anima Mia".
If you do what you suggest to adjust the spacing of the final
copies, that would be fine.  I still don't know whether you
plan to plot them at 2X scale.  I will work on the remote
plotting problem, but for the time being, we ought to figure
on it being done at your end.
Thanks again for keeping us going.
 
 
∂02-Aug-80  0837	AK   via MIT-TIP 	What's up?
Despite the apparent departure of Rick Taube, some mysterious
person is still working on the madrigals, for which we are
grateful.  Can you shed some light on this?
 
Have you found anyone to permanently replace Rick?
 
Have you contemplated my problem with the various kinds of
"dashes" in the text?
 
We have received Rick's corrections on the first 2 madrigals,
and the first pass of the third one.  By and large they look
good.  He was unable to find the "old music package" so as
to make the "introductory staves" use old-style notes.
 
Another bit of advice you might offer to whoever is going
to be doing the actual production is how to adjust the format
to best fit the requirements that the printed portion of the
final output must fit within 6 X 9 inches.  (these allow for
appropriate margins on an 8.5 X 11 inch page.)  You also
earlier suggested plotting at double scale and then
reducing.
 
I am contemplating asking Dick Helliwell to look at the
output file format to see if we can transfer it over the
net, and plot it here.  Which of the myriad files is the
plotter output (or the specification of the plotter output)?
Hope to hear from you soon.  Thanks.Alan
 
∂24-Jul-80  2022	AK   via MIT-TIP 	Replacement for Rick Taube
I gather Rick has discussed with you the fact that he is departing.
He will be leaving Monday.  He indicated that you had some other
people in mind who might be interested in completing this job for us.
 
Needless to say, we are greatly in need of a west coast agent.
Rick and I agreed to $10 per hour, which I am willing to pay a
replacement.  As things got smoother, Rick indicated that it
was taking him 1.5 hours to push thru one madrigal.
 
Another problem with the remote file input which Rick has
discovered concerns the "dashes" between text.  There seem
to be 3 cases of interest:
1) Syllables of the same word on consecutive notes, where one
   hyphen is desired.  I believe the "!!" does that.
 
2) The end of a word is carried over several notes, where a
   solid line runs the full length.  I believe the "??" does that.
 
3) Syllables of the same word, where several notes intervene;
   the normal usage seems to be a series of hyphens.  I do not
   know any way to indicate that in my input.
Any ideas?
 
If you have a hot candidate for the job, have him call collect
at 617-493-8625 (home) or 617-493-7381 (office), or leave me
mail here.
 
 
∂05-Jul-80  1938	AK   via DEC-2136 	More music questions
I have some staves with more than 72 characters of text input.
I tried to simply put in a <CR> after a "/", but the results
indicate that is a loser.  What do you suggest?  (See file
20902 for an example.)
 
Also, do I assume correctly that the effect of "2B" in the
"beam" section will beam together an 8th note followed by
2 sixteenth notes, assuming they must together constitute
an even quarter note?  In general, does "2B" beam together
all lesser notes that constitute even quarter notes?
 
∂28-Jun-80  1549	AK   via MIT-TIP 	Problems Rick has had.
Rick called me up and mentioned a few problems he ran into, which he
may or may not have asked you about.  First, he claimed some problem
with the music program reading files with names ending in the digit 0.
Secondly, on your advice, I eliminated the clefs from pages after the
first.  I am not sure Rick understands how you saved that information
and later recalled it for each page.

In the text, there are places where the end of one word and the beginning
of the next come one the same note.  Judie has indicated these with a
symbol which looks like a parenthesis lying on its side.  Are you familiar
with this, and is there some way to indicate that in the text?

Thanks much for your long and helpful reply.  I have copied and printed
MS.LCS.  As expected, much is obscure in that document, but I suspect
I can get a long way with the simple directions included in your
message.
Dick Helliwell has offered to help me cause the output to be printed
on our Versatec Plotter, which is similar to an XGP, but it prints
on special paper.  He wonders what your output file format looks like.
If you can give me a pointer to the program which writes the output,
or some other clue as to what the output file looks like, I can pass
that info to him.
 
In the mean time, I would appreciate your mailing me the output from
the Gibbons example you did. Also, any other output with the corresponding
input would be helpful.
 
The scope of this project is 2 books of, I believe, 24 madrigals by one
Scipione Lacorcia.  Since they are all similar in format, I expect that
if I can get your help getting one correct, I can do the rest with minimal
help from your end.  If necessary, I can probably make it out there some
time to fine tune the output.  I hope to be able to use the local plotter
to see how I am coming.
 
Judie (my wife) and I certainly appreciate the interest you have taken,
and I hope not to take too much of your time.

∂23-May-80  2030	EJG  	Ancient Fortran (F40) question
Hi.  I seem to remember you asking me about a million years ago if there
was any way to control both the filename and extension of an F40 data
file.  Well, in case you never found it (and have just been using call
ifile and call ofile), I accidentally stumbled across a way to do it.  It
uses the "define" subroutine, which appears to be intended for use with
fortran random access files, but seems to work OK also on just normal
ASCII files.  In the example below, parameters are:
 
1:		fortran logical unit number.
0:		random access buffer size (I just guessed 0 would work).
iiiii:		random access "associated variable"; for safety, use
		 an unused integer variable name here.
'NAMEXXEXT ':	file name and extension, 10 characters.
 
I found this when looking for a way to tell F40 to use (e.g.) device
DSK for logical unit number 3, instead of device LPT.  (Other than
the kluge of using the monitor command "ASSIGN DSK 3".)  Do you by
any chance know how to do this?
 
 
---example---
	call define(1,0,iiiii,'NAMEZZEXT ')
	write(1,1)
1	format('  hoo hah')
	call exit
	end

I will likely be out your way between June 6 and June 9.  I would very
much like to talk to you, preferably on the weekend.  Please let
me know whether this would be feasible, or if not, the name of
somebody I could talk to about the music typography program when I
am there.  I would like to set a madrigal, so I can gain experience.
 
Also, if there is a student who would like to be my California agent,
for money, let me know that, too.
 
Please send answer to KOTOK@@DEC-2136
 
∂16-Jun-80  1747	G.KOTOK at SU-SCORE 	Revised Madrigal
Date: 16 Jun 1980 1743-PDT
From: G.KOTOK at SU-SCORE
Subject: Revised Madrigal
To: lcs at SU-AI
cc: g.kotok at SU-SCORE
 
I have done a number of cleanups on the files I had last weekend.
I have:
1) Put in numerous "??" items. (see comment later, herein)
2) Removed clefs at beginning of lines (except first line)
3) Removed extraneous slashes at end of input lines.
4) Merged all the files into one called "203[1,ak]".  My
	scheme of naming is a one digit book number "2",
	a 2 digit madrigal number "03", and a 2 digit page
	number, to be generated when expanding the file into
	20 odd small files.  The "pages" are separated by ↑L.
 
Could you please look this file over, and make any more labor
saving or other suggestions?  Since I have a total of 36 madrigals
to do, the less input, the better.  Actually, I am willing to
do more input from this end to save Rick Taube work at your end.
 
Speaking of Rick, I have been negligent about contacting him.
Let him know I will try and reach him soon.  Do you have some
idea of how much I ought to pay him for his services?  Is he
a graduate student?  What is the range of going rates?
 
Since most of the "??"s are intersyllable hyphens only used
to group the syllables of one word, Judie would be happy with
just a "-" between the notes.  Since the ?? puts in a long
dash, it will need considerable on-line editing to shrink them
down.  Might you consider another feature, say "!!" which puts
in a "-" centered between the notes?  If so, much labor could
be saved. Thank you again for your time.

(This message should be read following one of an hour or so ago
postmarked from SCORE.)
 
I have talked with Rick, and hopefully he will get together with
you.  Messages can be left for me here.
 
A few other items have come up after further discussions with Judie:
1) It would be nice to have a title in larger print at the top of
the first page.  While page numbers would be nice, I suspect they
will be impossible to have computer generated, since we won't know
what page number each madrigal will start on.
 
2) The final size of the output must be completely contained in 6 X 9
inches, to meet thesis format rules.  The stuff you printed was
6 X 10, so a 10% shrink will at least be necessary.  Some books
I have seen put only 2 groups of staves on the first page to allow
room for the title.  Better to do this than shrink everything to
allow space for the title which only appears on page 1.
 
3) We would like measure numbers every 10 measures.  If you can tell me
how to do it, I can supply them in the input.
 
4) There are a few editorial footnotes scattered
about the score.  These numbers need also be put in.  I suspect
they are easier for Rick to put in later.
We'll get this down to a science, yet!
 
∂19-Jun-80  1829	AK   via SU-SCORE 	Music Data Ready
There are now 20 files named 20301 thru 20320 in my area
ready for Rick Taube to try to push thru.  Bob Kusik, a cohort
of mine will be at Stanford all next week, and if some results
appear, he can cart them back to me.
Thanks.

Judie and I have a few technical questions.  When would
be convenient to reach you by phone, and at what
number(s)?
 
∂25-Jun-80  1804	AK   via MIT-TIP 	separate bar lines
In case you didn't see my "send" message, could you clarify
how I cause the bar lines at the end of measures to only appear
in the staves, and not between them.  I couldn't quite understand
the second hand explanation from Judie, last night.
 
I presume I ahve to separately put "M"s in each input staff.
Is there anything else necessary?
(or for that matter, is there a simpler way?)
