The point, IMO, is that music is linear to a degree that
text reading comprehension is not, because it is in time,
with a beat. As you are trained to see on which beat each note
falls, you are necessarily trained also in the sequence. If
you know that a note is on the 4th count, and if you are
able to count, how likely are you to play that note on the
2nd count by mistake? daveA
