Thank you for your elaborate comment... your English is more than sufficient. For many of us, it is not the native language.

Like I tried to outline, there is a lot of gray zone, and part of the problem lies in the complexity of the subject.

As a painter, I have no idea, how a musician comes up with their compositions and for me, it would be next to impossible to ignore all the melodies I already know, while I want to find a new one.

First thing for me would again be what our captain said. You are the first one, who knows what you are doing.
