Of course you need to make that distinction. However, Steve is 
suggesting this requires mind reading. I am certain that a TD is able 
to make the distinction without turning to mind reading. Our keyboards 
are not equipped to add to "the fi-" the numerous levels of intonation 
and timing that make it possible for someone who does not even know 
how bridge is played (let alone an experienced TD) to make this 
distinction. We're all human, and we pick up on all those things.
