[jmsl] academic licensing

[jmsl at music.columbia.edu]

Dear Nick,

Thanks again for all of your support thus far.

So you are aware, I am currently using your software
in evaluation form.  If all goes well, which is has so far,
then the University I am working for will purchase a license
from you for continued use.

We are working on a Music Diagnostics exam -- incoming
students will take this JScore based placement test by filling
out harmonies and writing scales, etc.  Then they will submit
their finished "score" for evaluation (by humans, at this stage).

As you can see my job as web developer for this project is a little
tricky.  I settled on JMSL after going to iteration after iteration of less
than useful online notation.  Still, there are issues I face and IF you have
more time to help out, it would really move this project along.  So I hope
you don't mind if I keep asking questions.  Here are three:

1 - Is there an easy way to keep the JScore applet from automatically 
opening
in the popup?  i.e. Can it be set to ONLY pop up if the user clicks the 
"show score"
button?  The reason I ask is because we may have several of these on one 
page, and give
the user the option of which one to "pop-up".

2 - There has been talk of "removing" certain options from the JScore
applet that would provide a bit TOO much information during an exam.  Is 
there
a straight forward process for me to manipulate the .jar file?

3 - This one may be the most important: how easy is it to add "SAVE 
SCORE" functionality
to the online JScore applet?  Since we will want users to be able to 
SUBMIT their score,
I am curious as to what limits there may be to exporting XML, etc. from 
the applet.  I notice
that those options are faded out in the online version.

Thanks again,

Pablo
