Han-Wen, all--

Although I may need to make several sequential payments to do so,
depending on how many others are willing to help sponsor this work, I'm
willing to commit to co-sponsorship of your work on ties (in general, as
they apply to chords, intervals of a second, etc.) with whoever else
wishes to help co-sponsor this work.

Anyone else?
