Many thanks to those who replied to my questionnaire.

I would appreciate more participation, so if you did not fill the questionnaire, please take 5 minutes to do so. In particular, I would like to determine whether sketching at the early stage of a composition is a common practice or not. Therefore, if you DON'T sketch before composing, please fill the questionnaire also.

Please find below a questionnaire on composition practices. This survey 

is meant to study the relation between notation and composition, 

focusing in particular on the sketches drawn at the early stage of a 

composition. If you do draw sketches before composing a piece, you are 

kindly invited to send them attached as an image, along with this 

questionnaire. Please send your answer to this e-mail address:
