okay, then maybe I CAN read music...because I can sit down with a sheet of music and pick it out on a keyboard, given enough time. usually in the wrong key. What I CAN'T do is look at the score and say "that's in the key of ....." or "that sequence is g a c a b. With a cheat sheet in hand, I can match it to a corresponding picture and figure it out that way, but claiming that is reading music is equivilant of running a paragraph written in russian through a translation program and claiming I can read russian.On the other hand, a computer, you punch the buttons and things happen. or not. sometimes. maybe. reboot first.
sorry - it's frustrating. Especially when I look at a piece and when I DO pick it out on a keyboard, or put it into Noteworthy and then HEAR it, it turns out to be a tune I've known forever.
Then again, I was in high school before I was convinced that the constellations weren't a world wide conspiracy against me, because I couldn't see them. that turned out to be glasses needed...
