Thanks. I do recognize for most of those marked elements that 
something's a little "off" -- moreso with the slurs/ties so perhaps I 
will look into focusing on those.

Yes, although I'll try to outline some significant changes, I think most 
of the work collecting specific problems and examples from the 
literature will have to take place in the early stages of the project. 
I'll give some thought to how to approach that process.

Thank you both for your help and insights -- I'll hope to put together
