I've heard it being used in several reviews and comments, most notably it's column being removed from Crinacle's database. I know it might generally deal with lower mids and higher bass, though I have no idea what it definitively is. I tried to find out what it is, but I couldn't find any info other than mentions of it on several subreddits as well as Google. So what is note weight definitively, and why did Crinacle have a column for it in the first place, then neglect it and ultimately remove it?

"tonal effects are a meaningless audiofool myth. so is timbre and things sounding enjoyable"

I know most of those words, but I am having trouble parsing this.

That's probably on me dude - apologies.

p. Hey - I am always open to learning from the experts!

j. If you can teach me or show me the best resource to understand the terminology that I don't understand, then I am all yours.

r. "Note Weight" as per OP is a good start and I would love to get to grips with "Musicality".
