While the music plays you can click anywhere in the score to resume playback from that point. You can also turn pages backwards and forwards.
The score has been written down more than 3 decades after the live recording. Inevitably, there are quite a number of discrepancies between score and live performance. Some of these are due to the nature of musical score, which simply cannot capture many aspects of real music. Others are deliberate deviations by the author (WV) when he wrote down the score either beacause he imagined to know better or just gave up on inaudible notes or irreproducible rhythms.
More examples of score with synthesized music are these compositions by Wim Vree and Wim Steevels.
