In general all is very clear.  I spotted only a couple of
things to comment on:

1.1.1:

Head:
convient -> convenient

Relative octave entry:
There is a much simpler way of describing how this works.
It's in 2.1.2 of the LM: a note is placed in the octave
which is within three staff spaces of the previous note,
ignoring all accidentals.  Simply count staff spaces between
the positions of the two noteheads.  All the talk of
doubly-augmented fourths and double-diminished fifths is
just confusing and unnecessary.

1.1.3:

Clef:
In the list of clefs the brackets round the pitch is better
omitted.  For example, the treble clef places the pitch g'
on the 2nd line.  This is clearer if written as "G clef, g'
is on 2nd line"
