I lost it at making a symbol to represent a note letter -- a terrible idea. Ex. D for Dot. One thing to understand about music is that the letters are meaningless, as learning by letters restricts you to playing in a certain fashion. For some reason letters got introduced, I don't know why, but all that matters is the distance between notes. Not learning letters first allowed me to easily transpose into any key since the LETTER DIDN'T MATTER. Cool idea, but has some serious limitations in real music, the obvious one being transposition.
