Sounds great for notation/pitches.itely. Feel free to push it to
pitches.itely directly. But this is *not* appropriate for the
tutorial. I will be very unhappy if you put it there.
When users are still coming to grips with two single quotes '' vs
a double quote ", they're not going to be carefully considering
the specifications of disregarding interesting consequences
carefully.

Trust me. The tutorial should keep words to 3 syllables or less
if at all possible.
Besides, we already get enough crap for having a tutorial that's
"too complicated" (see recent emails on -user). There's an art to
documentation, and a lot of that art is in removing anything that
doesn't need to be there. The tutorial is already 18 pages.
