The six questions appear as survey participants saw them for the listener study described in the MCM 2011 submission, Generating Musical Accompaniment through Functional Scaffolding. The accompaniment tracks in MIDIs 3, 4, 5 were generated by functional scaffolding for musical composition (FSMC). MIDI 1 is a computer-generated control, and MIDI 2 is the original Bad Girl's Lament without accompaniment. Special thanks to Barry Taylor for granting special permission to utilize his own MIDI productions of folk music in this work. Barry Taylor orginally sequenced both Nancy Whiskey and Bad Girl's Lament without accompaniment.
