I've been attempting to relearn music theory for the third time. The first attempt was over a decade ago, and I never really quite got it. The second attempt was about 6 years ago, and while the fundamentals clicked and I improved dram

As an autistic person, I don't understand why this has to be so complicated. What people have to say either makes sense and is helpful, in which case I take it into account going forward. Otherwise, I simply disregard it. I wouldn&#x

This stuck out to me as well. Why do you need to download the entire project? So you can build/compile/launch it and view/test your changes. Are we just talking about a README.md file here?
