Done

Administrivia

• Drafted application for Provost's Award.
• Drafted request for expedited IRB review.
• Met with PG briefly to discuss the project.
• Reviewed paper for AIED.

Data Collection

• Drafted a some more questions for needs analysis survey.
• Talked to AFL on about all manners pianistic. Discussed a few new ideas for data collection: 1) comparison of different editorial editions of the same score, 2) interview an editor (who Anne thinks tend to be academics) about his or her process with respect to fingering annotations, 3) include fill-in-the-blank exercises to try to see where the non-controversial and the controversial meet, 4) give one group partially annotated and another group fully annotated, 5) do a case study of a pianist's personal library--transcribe a set of scores, but how to select? What gets added? What gets changed? I may need to bring a scanner when I go to Albuquerque at the end of March.
• Scheduled meeting Monday at 11 with Dr. Zefran to discuss sensors, cybergloves, and all matters electronic.

Doing

• Drafting recruitment email for IRB.
• Trying to run finger6 over input file.
• Playing with AFP (one .exe, one .dll, and that's it).
• Trying to quantify variability in the Parncutt sight-reading corpus.
