[sudo-discuss] Resources for music theory?

[Sam Tepper]

Strange that the Strasheela github (
https://github.com/tanders/strasheela ) links to a spam website (
www.mozart-oz.org ) for its language, rather than the correct github
Mozart page or github download
(https://github.com/mozart/mozart2#downloads).

Also I would not recommend following any of the sourceforge links,
since they appear to packaging things with malware these days.  (
