Anyone watch Good Omens?

I just finished watching the final episode/movie of Good Omens and was struck at the similarities between Crowley/Aziraphel and Ilya/Shane. I'm not as immersed in Good Omens story as I am with HR, but I love Crowley and Aziraphel (and David Tennant and Michael Sheen of course) and saw so many similarities with Ilya and Shane!

Crowley and Ilya are chaos gremlins, reckless, provocative, cool, sexy, and even have cool cars that they love to drive recklessly. Both fell first/ harder than their partners, whereas Aziraphel and Shane are both rule followers, restrained, disciplined, sincere, and cautious. Both couples have seemingly unsurmountable reasons why they can't be together, and it takes a while for them to try, but they can’t resist being together and understand each other in ways that the rest of the world doesn’t.

These relationships are definitely a trope, and it's kind of like grumpy/sunshine and definitely enemies to friends to lovers, but I love the parallels between the characters in these two stories.

Anyone else see the commonalities? Are there other M/M examples of chaos gremlin + calm rational (boring) partner that can’t help but be drawn to each other? It's such a good trope!

Need simple, free or cheap transcription software/app

I am a member of a small vocal/folk ensemble that does not have a director. Much of our music is learned by ear as part of the folk traditions, but sometimes we need sheet music, which often doesn’t exist. Once upon a time, one of our members had Sibelius and used that to create sheet music for our songs, but we don’t really have the budget to purchase software at this time.

Can anyone recommend a very simple app or software that can transcribe from a recording (mp3 or video) and also allow me to make adjustments or my own notations? We sing a cappella with 3 parts maximum. I’m not techie, and I don’t want to spend a lot of time learning new software, so something that’s easy and intuitive please. Thanks!
