01200	Dear Jean-Claude,
01300	.begin fill adjust
01400		I have been making plans for next year so I thought  I  would
01500	write  to  you about the possibility of doing some work for IRCAM.  I
01600	plan to be in Paris about April 1, 1977 and remain there most of  the
01700	time  until  September 1.  During that time I would like very much to
01800	get my various programs running on your  PDP10  and  perhaps  give  a
01900	series of seminars on their use.
02000	
02100		The  form  of  the  SCORE program has stabilized.  There have
02200	been only a few very small changes in the past year and  the  program
02300	gets  constant  use.   The  same is true of FUNC (the stored-function
02400	library  program.)  However  the  music  printing  program  is  still
02500	expanding.  I  am  continually amazed at the complexity and detail of
02600	musical notation. Several of my students are now using  this  program
02700	now  to  print  their  own  compositions  and to make up examples for
02800	doctoral dissertations.
02900	
03000		Our new KL-10 has been here now for a few weeks but it is not
03100	yet  hooked up to our main system.  The 'Samson box' has been ordered
03200	and should be delivered sometime in the summer, I believe.  With  all
03300	these constant changes we are kept very busy.
03400	
03500		I  hope the progress on your system is going well.  I suppose
03600	you have your DAC by now.  Meanwhile if there is any way I might help
03700	you from this great distance don't hesitate to ask.
03800
