One thing that's easy to measure with an ETD is how the amplitude of 
different partials changes over time.

For example, with TuneLab, hit "Zoom wide", and play a tenor or bass note. 
Usually the amplitude of the higher partials goes up within a second or two, 
before dying down.

We've been drawing volume graphs with just axes: volume and time. Maybe we 
need a 3D graph: volume X time X frequency?
