LabanWriter 4.0 is in the works now. David Ralley took over that part of
my job at OSU and is making good progress. I'd guess a beta version might
be ready by the end of the academic year, or perhaps next Autumn. I'm
mostly a consultant on the project and only writing a bit of the code.
Mainly, I'm holding the old version together.
Toronto - Right. That was the multimedia paper. The multimedia project is
now available on CD ROM. I'm particularly happy with the part linking the
Labanotation and music scores with a couple of videos and animated
floorplans. That portion was programmed by a Dutch graduate student named
Joukje Kolff - I don't know if you've met her or not, but she would be
another good contact for you if you are interested.
You should be able to find some LabanWriter info on OSU's dance department
web server: www.dance.ohio-state.edu. I'd find a specific URL for you, but
I don't seem to be able to connect right now.

I guess that means that Yacov had decided *not* to bring it to Texas?
Please let me know if you hear anything more about this.

Great. I'm glad you are taking the initiative to do this, since that's why
I created this list in the first place. I'll contribute as the opportunity
arises.
