Compose With Sound (CWS) software will make a good example to let students go away from cracked commercial applications.

Taking care of some numbers:

1) 688 in Terminology (EARS and EARS2, as well as CMT)

40 completed from 2006 to 2008, almost by myself.

80 completed from 2009 to 2013. Numbers of the translator group gets expanded to 23. At least 1 terminology, at most 30 terminology!

*40 completed from 2013 to 2014. I have been proofreading for my students who are in my class for Computer Music Theory (MUST TAKE).

2) 40 in Bibliography. Not searching, but waiting for the qualified articles and books, or translated articles and books. So, "unpublished" has been brought up!

3) 81 in Lectures

*Original workshop materials (available at homepage) for CHEARS.info: Synthesis and performance in SuperCollider by James Harkins in April, 2014!

Prof. Leigh Landy's Lecture in Shenyang, 2013
Prof. Marc Battier's Lecture in Shanghai, 2014

4) 47 Works in 29 Concerts

5) Community

5.1) 132 in Comments since 2008
5.2) 58 in Readers since 2009
5.3) 78 in Messages since 2010
5.4) Only 7 in Critics since 2013

Two Critics are already on the Newspaper based on Shenyang Conservatory of Music in 2012 and 2013 respectively!

Previously, back to 2011 in New York: From EARS to CHEARS.

Three questions from Marc were brought up again:

1) Has there been a critical mass of researchers working with CHEARS throughout China?

2) Is here a sufficient number of composers and teachers working with CHEARS throughout China?

3) Is CHEARS still a research project or has it found a substantial following in China?
