if that's the official name for it, yes, right.

I should had said before: it would be good if the codings would be  
suitable for as many playback situations as possible, as they would also  
be heard in that way (cd, radio, stream, headphones, ...). But if for  
example the headphone version is particularly good, we might think about  
doing a version for it.

Also some words about the movements, which I didn't say first: there are  
several types of movements (each performance is different), sometimes  
circles, sometimes irregular ones, sometimes (very) slow, sometimes fast,  
... They're not indispensable to the rest of the musical discourse going  
on, but they integrate with it [so we think]. So it would be nice to have  
at least an impression of the space, as it won't be *that* precise.


Thanks for your suggestions, I'll look into them later.
