[Tutor] Indentation Issue and Blind People

[jim stockford]

    you might consider keeping your code at two
spaces and when/if the need arises to share
your code, write a little filter program that
translates the two-space indents to four.
    very interesting idea to play piano notes.
how'd you do that?
