All Bells dislike being interrupted, but could you rank them by how strongly they dislike it, or is there too little variation?

There's no interesting variation there. I guess ones that have spent longer periods of time not being the highest-status person around have more practice dealing with it, and one like Tab who only ever talked to a couple people who were probably pretty good about not interrupting her would have much less, and more practice means more smoothed-out reflexes for not getting irritated, but that's a sufficiently general guideline that it wouldn't add anything for me to generate the list.

Have any of them managed to stop disliking it? Looks like no. Because they can't, or because they don't want to?

They all still dislike it in principle, but e.g. Angela no longer has a particular emotional reaction to it.

I'm having a really hard time getting a handle on the friendship question and can't articulate why.
Could you update the incandescent peal list to include Phix and Revelation?

Huh. I know Angela, Linya, Rapunzel, and Stella, but what's the explanation for the range between Stella and the middle of the pack? I guess Pattern has herself a musical boyfriend...

Revelation has had a lot of time on his hands, Golden has an expectation of being good at everything she touches and has had a while to pick something up and I assume she has probably learned to play something, Cymbeline is a well-rounded and well-educated prince, and, yes, Pattern has her musical boyfriend.
