By "take downs" I mean notating recorded songs (or whatever) in standard
notation in order to present it to lawyers, judges, juries and the like in
matters of plagiarism claims.

I "fell" into this line about twenty years ago when one of my singers, who
had quit the group to study law, called and asked me to analyse "Flashdance:
What a Feeling" for a plagiarism claim. Apparently, the lawyers involved
liked what I had to say, spread the word, and lawyers have been hiring me
ever since. Cool!
