Sorry Peter I shouldn't have gone into patronising rant mode - no need at all. "FWIW, I don't think notation carries a better guarantee for learning a 'correct' version, with tunes being learned from the interwebs and all that" Neither do I. I do think there's a lot to be said for keeping an open ear and adapting your version to the group you're playing with. Most of us only wish we could.
