This blog documents the development of JIMS iGetIt! Music System (JIMS). JIMS' goal is to help you Understand Music in 24 Hours™, if you are (a) a non-musician (b) who wants to learn how to write your own rock songs. Requiring no instrument other than your own computer, and without using traditional notation, JIMS is being designed to deliver a deep understanding of tonal structure...in just 24 hours.

Way behind

I'm way behind on developing new lessons, for three reasons:
(1) I had a short consulting contract that occupied a couple of weeks of my time
(2) I need to correct some pedagogical deficiencies in earlier lessons (e.g., introducing the term "note" without defining it in Lesson 4) rather than focus on new lessons, and
(3) I invested a couple of days learning more about Adobe's Text Layout Framework (TLF).

I need to understand TLF better because JiMS makes heavy use of superscripts -- in note-names such as Re0 -- which, in Flex, require the use of TLF.

But, I'm back in the saddle now. A corrected version of Lesson 4 should be posted tomorrow (Lesson 004.01), with a modified version of Lesson 5 to follow a few days thereafter.
