Are you going to produce some tutorials on how to use MaxScore and its associated objects?

in General
It would be really helpful to see some tutorials on the use of MaxScore in Max.  And in Live too, thought I don't use Live personally so don't really care much about that.  1) I'd like to see a tutorial on using the transcription facility with a generative Max patch driving. 2) I'd like to see a tutorial about how to use multiple types of microtonal systems at one time, for example, 19EDO in one staff/voice and 7-limit JI in another. 3) I'd like to see if it is possible to have multiple tempi in multiple staffs simultaneously, for example quarter note =320mm in one staff while the 2nd staff does dotted quarter = 256mm.  Is that possible? 4) It would be nice to see a really basic use tutorial that goes from setup, including checking on the status of the installation, to entering a simple, but 4 or more instrument score...

    I've just gotten ahold of MaxScore, and will be plugging away at it as I NEED something like it for my work, but  although it looks very capable I'm finding the documentation to be inadequate.  Is anyone else having this problem?  MaxScore is a very complicated object, with many messages that it can respond to. And there are many additional objects that are thankfully part of the package but barely mentioned in the documentation.  Some significant time needs to be put into developing better and more complete documentation, and some tutorials are badly needed.  If I can get a handle on this library I will contribute to this effort, but...hasn't something been done along these lines already?  Please advise!

    I'm well aware of this issue. Unfortunately, I didn't have the resources to create ample documentation up till now, but we have just been given a grant that should take care of this. We'll start working on this in 2018 for the 1.0 release.
