>>   1. Conductor training. Composers already use MIDI; why shouldn't
        conductors be allowed to experiment with tempo without having an
        orchestra in front of them?

        2. Performance. A person could actually conduct a piece which has
        been programmed into the computer, and control the speed and
        loudness (and other factors as well) of the music.

Steve--

I know this has been done in some form. You might ask the SigGraph folks if
they have a video. I seem to recall.....

Not sure I've ever heard of conductor training software though!
