I think it is a good practice not to transcribe your songs with the exception of lyrics.
I can't sight read, but I'd say I'm musically literate. I know what the different musical symbols on sheet music mean, and I know what note each line represents. I can't look and immediately tell you what key based on which lines are sharp and flat, but I could figure it out.
Literacy to me seems to be a really subjective term though and the line between who is musically literate and who isn't seems foggy.
Is musical literacy the understanding of musical concepts or the ability to read notation?
