    Nice! I like the clue for ALTOS, even though it's a little depressing to me. This is why I can't sing in choirs anymore. I am undeniably not a soprano, but I can't sight-read to save my live. :(

      Sorry! It's definitely not my intention for anyone to finish my crossword feeling worse than when they started!

        Lol, it's fine. ALTOS don't get enough love, and this was really an alto-appreciation clue, so I'm for it.

      ALTOS put up with a lot. Q: How do you get a tenor to sing staccato? A: Mark the note "FF solo."

            Fun puzzle! I don't understand the clue for altos. Why are they the best sight singers?

              To deal in choir stereotypes: since sopranos often have the melody, which is easier to pick up by ear, they don't have to work as hard at reading the sheet music, and the tenors and basses (i.e. men) generally just take things less seriously.

              Had frets for 1A and that f%%ked me.
