This last one is grammatically incorrect, as it mixes singular (a 
musician, he/she) and plural (their). Better to say something like 
"A distinct visual signature helps to keep musicians from losing 
their place [on the page] when they look away or have a lapse in 
concentration."

Maybe even deleted the "on the page" part.

Thanks for working on this, Jonathan. I guess everyone has to call 
me "Jon" now to avoid confusion. ;)
