Or, try to learn lilypond first, then tackle an absurdly complex piece
of music (Debussy's Clair of Lune, for example) and dive head-first on
it, just to be stuck on the first measure (*), and go to your wife who
happens to be a music teacher and start asking her for help. It does a
lot to improve communication...
Wait, what were we talking about?
