But I do think that the following behavior qualifies for an issue
report:

>> Interpreting music...

That one's obviously spot-on and fine.

But those error messages are ludicrous and are not helpful for
pinpointing the problem.  This (likely common) error condition should be
caught and given a useful error message.
