He's managed fine so far like this, but is
finding that to get work
and to work with other musicians he needs to be able to write notation.
Then he should learn to write notation.
The solution is surely not to have a program printing what he played,
esp as he can't even verify that it did it right.
There are many other benefits from learning to read:
* a new world of dynamics, articulations etc might open up.
* you can easily check out styles that are far from what you're used to
* you'll experience music theory as you play
Although many composition teachers tell you compositions should sound
improvised, I firmly believe that working a bit on the improvised
composition might make it work better as a composition.
