You may have misunderstood me. I was asking you to be more specific in this thread, not in your paper, about who your audience is so we can understand your intention. I can imagine it might be some of the following, perhaps you could say which: Professional engravers Music publishing management Open Source software engineers Music undergraduates Music academics Amateur musicians Professional musicians Users of <insert engraving tool> software Internet media authors (as news not as a writing tool) >> To me your paper seems to be pitched very well for someone who is >> already interested in these ideas but needs guidance.

OK, that helps, I think you have made the audience clear.

Right. So I suggest you have to summarise their situation and show it's shortcomings with respect to your proposal. Focus on use cases where WYSIWYG fails; Graham pointed some out in this thread. Clearly you can write well, so they will recognise what you say and begin to listen to your voice.
