Well, I should have read my post a second time before sending it  
in ;-)  Maybe it's better to say that the first note is setting the  
direction you must follow!  Yes of course you can start digging, but  
I would rather try to follow that "bad note" into the new direction  
it implies. What else can you do? And what is a bad first note  
anyway? When you play music you are constantly changing your plans  
and directions. Big mistakes are interesting because the force us  
into adventurous changes.
