OK, now I was able to listen to it. There are a few spots where it might be helpful to put in some cautionary accidentals - like in bar 53 with the e natural. Also, you might tweak with the score to fit it neatly on four pages, since the last page only takes up two systems - you could even resize the music slightly or something. I've always hated the GPO single string sounds.. although regular midi is even worse! I do agree with you that this needs a live performance - since it can be quite dissonant in a few pages, melodically at least, it needs a performer who can give the phrases the breath they need to sound convincing - I do think that many of the leaps and phrases in here sound awkward only because a real person isn't playing them.
So I am confidant in saying that you should definitely have this performed so you can hear it as I'm sure you imagined it! Writing for a single string instrument is a challenge, one I have not attempted, but I think you did a good job here.
