Lord Kelvin wrote (something like), "Science starts when measurement starts". Language is the universal tool of the human race, so we keep trying to make it more precise, but there are applications where it remains fuzzy. One of these is our use of categories with no clear boundaries, where precision is impossible or can only be achieved by measurement. The same problem afflicts the "classical", "pop", etc. argument, over which we still agonise, despite the good advice (please remind me who said it), "There are only two kinds of music: good and bad." Even these look like categories, but we should regard them as the extremities of a spectrum. -- Ken Moore [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web site: http://www.mooremusic.org.uk/ I reject emails > 100k automatically: warn me beforehand if you want to send one _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
