Gary,
Discussions I had with Alan, F. Gerard Errante, and others this year at
ClarinetFest (one of the advantages of going to ClarinetFest is that
you get to namedrop later :) led me to believe that the publication
you refer to was _not_ done electronically; indeed, I made the offer
earlier this year to put the catalog on-line and would have
put it up if the format was electronic. I can cross-index just
about any text format known (including foreign language documents)
with the engines on sneezy. I was ready to scan in the collection
at the time; other factors (more political in nature) have prevented
me from legally doing that. I've offered Stan the resources on
sneezy for bibliographic references if it will help speed the process.
I hope to be able to set pointers to the ICA collection from the sneezy
clarinet music database also.
