You could have people send in one vote per composer, but any number of composers, and add up all the votes. Or, you could have people assign composers a rating from 1 to x and add up all those numbers. (You would have to decide whether negative votes would be allowed.) In this case, respondents should try to have a different number for each composer, though it wouldn't be strictly necessary. Come to think of it, I think I'd have a hard time even with that! Oh, well... Anybody want an opera lyrics quiz (what opera and character)? Jeff Winslow
