One thing I do appreciate about #notation software is the playback feature, which can be helpful for judging questions of pacing, or identifying phrases or ideas that need a little more or less time. It also helps me protect against a worst-case, overly literal, unfeeling interpretation—by demonstrating just what that would sound like. If I can get even the #MIDI playback to sound okay, it’ll surely be safe in the hands of a sympathetic human.
