    Don't even think about doing the exercises on your iPhone

    I have the one-volume Essentials (3 books in 1) print version and it's great so I thought I'd check out the digital version, just for convenience. The material itself is fine but woof -- the late 90s called and they want their glitchy interactivity back. Dragging and dropping notes with any precision at all is a tedious, frustrating nightmare. I could have carved a tetrachord in alabaster in the time it took me to build one using their interface. Not ready for prime time.
