I think you need to do some straight-talking with this person.
They don't believe in scores, but think that you should have
to convert your LP scores to Finale.

They think that musicians should learn by ear, but don't
approve of your sound files.

It's easy to have idiosyncratic ideas, difficult to put them
into practice. They just want to unload the effort onto you.
