Ah, Strasheela. The first half of the tutorial was rewritten by a
certain well-known open-source documentation guru. ;)
I used it in my Master's thesis to create exercises of varying
difficulty levels for rhythms and violin intonation. I'll
probably return to it during my PhD, but that's still a few months
off. Having distinct difficulty levels (ie "violinist with 2
weeks of experience; violinist with 6 weeks of experience;
violinist with 4 years of experience") is somewhat distinct from
the original problem of checking whether it's possible on an
instrument, of course.
I still can't see this being useful in a cost/benefit decision,
though. It would take a lot of work to implement such a system.
I could well imagine it being a PhD on its own. Depending on the
scope, of course.
