Hello.  Resident ethnomusicologist, here (Please wait: swapping hats...)

I just wanted to request anyone who privatly replies to Kay Q Lee, if you
wouldn't mind, could you send a cc: to me as well?  This kind of discussion
would help me immensely in my project on Csound as well...

Thanks!

All the best,
Charles
