If you allow the notion of picture to be so fluid, doesn't it leave one 
uncertain whether anything at all clear is being said?

Isn't a musical score much more like an algorithm than a picture?  A CD 
is much more like a picture of the sound of a symphony than a score is.

To serve in the general argument, isn't a picture required to have some 
sort of isomorphism to a state of affairs - something that is much more 
readily attributable to a CD than a score.
