“…Alternative approaches may be worthwhile in some cases, such as controlled experimental comparisons, but often risk compromising the musical situation. As one example from a slightly different domain, Dubnov et al (2006) conducts a numerical analysis of an audience's self-evaluated response to a composed piece of music over time. The study went to great lengths to numerically explore audience response in an authentic musical context -commissioning a composed piece whose structure can take two configurations, attracting a concert audience willing to be wired up to continuous rating system, etc.…”

In live human-computer music-making, how can interfaces successfully support the openness, reinterpretation and rich signification often important in live (especially improvised) musical performance? We argue that the use of design metaphors can lead to interfaces which constrain interactions and militate against reinterpretation, while consistent, grammatical interfaces empower the user to create and apply their own metaphors in developing their performance. These metaphors can be transitory and disposable, yet do not represent wasted learning since the underlying grammar is retained. We illustrate this move with reflections from live coding practice, from recent visual and two-dimensional programming language interfaces, and from musical voice mapping research. We consider the integration of the symbolic and the continuous in the human-computer interaction. We also describe how our perspective is reflected in approaches to system evaluation.

Musical instruments have a property of long-term engagement: people frequently become so engaged with them that they practice and play them for years, despite receiving no compensation other than enjoyment. We examine this phenomenon by analysing how the intrinsic motives mastery, autonomy, and purpose are built into the design of musical instruments; because, according to the self-determination theory of motivation, these three motives impact whether an activity might be found enjoyable. This analysis resulted in the identification of seven abstract qualities, inherent to the activity of music making or to the design of musical instruments, which contribute to the three intrinsic motives. These seven qualities can be treated as heuristics for the design of human-computer interfaces that have long-term engagement. These heuristics can be used throughout the design process, from the preliminary stage of idea generation to the evaluation stage of finished prototypes. Interfaces with instrument-like long-term engagement would be useful in many applications, both inside and outside the realm of music: they seem particularly suited for applications based on the attainment of long-term goals, which can be found in fields such as physical fitness, rehabilitation, education, and many others. In this chapter, we discuss an interface prototype we created and its pending evaluation. This interface, a rehabilitative rhythm game, serves as a case study showing how the heuristics might be used during the design process.

A novel and complex form of information access is cross-language information retrieval: searching for texts written in foreign languages based on native language queries. Although the underlying technology for achieving such a search is relatively well understood, the appropriate interface design is not. This paper presents three user evaluations undertaken during the iterative design of Clarity, a cross-language retrieval system for low density languages, and shows how the user interaction design evolved depending on the results of usability tests. The first test was instrumental to identify weaknesses in both functionalities and interface; the second was run to determine if query translation should be shown or not; the final was a global assessment and focussed on user satisfaction criteria. Lessons were learned at every stage of the process leading to a much more informed view of what a cross-language retrieval system should offer to users.
