It's nice to see some scripts. A few ideas:

The instruction was difficult to read (I read | for l) perhaps make the
instruction
Insert letter L for line and S for space
(accept upper or lower case then ...)
or what about space bar for space.

what about arrows, accepting forward or backward arrow for the same.

hmm arrows and control-arrows? You are thinking of little children here - 
they get the hang of things quickly but they wouldn't use written instructions 
- the adults would read those and
show the kids, I guess.

I think the feedback could be much improved now, with the ability to
insert any graphic into the music - so a correct answer could cause the
insert of a nice big Tick sign (d-DirectivePut-standalone-graphic
"BigTick" "BigTick") with some gx, gy and minpixels to position it and
give it some space.

And for older kids we could sound intervals and ask them to identify by
inserting the note...
