1. Does this "through" mean "from the begining to the end" or "with"?
2. Do the two as mean "in the way" or "because"?
3. What is the subject of "leading"? Is it "composers"? Then, doesn't it have to be "leading themselves"? Is it an exceptional case of reflexive pronoun?
ex)Fourteenth-century approaches to music had a deep and continuing impact on music and musical life in later centuries. Perhaps most significant was the invention of a precise and unambiguous notation that could record a wide variety of rhythms and allowed music to be distributed in writing...We now take this for granted when we play from notation and sight-read through unfamiliar music, but it was a remarkable innovation in the fourteenth century. Among its effects was that composers could fix their music exactly as they wished it to be performed, as(in the way?) poets had long been able to set down thier poems, leading them to take pride in authorship as(in the way?) few composers had done before the fourteenth century...
