Bsc Information Management Dissertation Research Questionnaire
My name is Nathan Williams.
I am studying for a Bsc in Information Management at the University of Sheffield and for my dissertation project I am investigating composer's use of music notation software.
My aim is to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of using such software and suggest ways in which the process of composition using music notation software could be made easier and more intuitive.
The questionnaire should not take too long to complete, dependent on whether you answer the open ended questions, and how thorough you wish to be with these questions if you decide to answer them.
By filling out this questionnaire you are consenting to my use of the results as part of my dissertation.
Thanks for your time, it is much appreciated.
