Morne,
I know you are new to the parish but do you have a friend there who would
sit with you until you got used to hearing the movement on the altar so you
can use Noel's suggestion?

Priests are under tremendous pressure from people in the parishes.  Often we
do not know why, but I have seen this again and again.  If they are in a
diocese that regularly transfers them, they can escape without dealing with
these situations. 


For many priests music has become something that they must deal with rather
than enjoy as lay people have taken more and more control over the music
choices.


I'd suggest offering to play quietiy during the Offertory and Communion at a
Mass that has no music to get started and work your way in.  A person could
assist you, as you say, to know when to start and finish.


When people face having to replace someone who is doing a job with someone
new who wants to do the job, they have to also face the difficulty in their
mind of what it is going to take to bring you, the new person, up to speed
to not interrupt or interfere with the Mass.  You need someone who wants you
to succeed doing this and the director of music is obviously not
comfortable.  I bet that the organist who is there now would be a better
choice to be someone who could help you get started - than the director of
music.
