I am not sure I can help, or that the data collected in
this way is worth anything. There is an LH FAQ at
www.cs.uu.nl/wais/html/na-dir/lefty-faq.html et al.,
and I like the book: Thomas R Blakeslee: 'The Right Brain'
(A new understanding of the unconscious mind and its creative power)
BTW: well known LHers in music include : CPE Bach, Britten, Casals,
Glenn Gould, Paul McCartney, Paganini, Prokofiev, Rachmaninov,
Ravel, Robert Schumann, Ringo Star. Research has been going on
for 150 year and we are still trying to figure it out. The interest
in the brain-hand link was historically cultural. There appears
to be a correlation between left-handedness and dyslexia and stuttering.
