What would be useful is if a few more people would learn to read the notation and indeed five line staff notation. Musical illiteracy is what really puts the brakes on extending repertoire, particularly singing the propers. It's not that hard to memorise a few ordinaries after all.

Agreed. This is best done, however, when people are young. The great tragedy is that we have a large number of Catholic schools but in very few is the traditional music of the Church taught. Instead the emphasis appears to be on the kind of rubbish (musically and liturgically) which ageing hippies think "appeals to young people" - but which was past its sell-by date thirty years ago.
Indeed most things are best learnt when young.
But people do learn music at any age if they are willing to put the work in over a period of time.
Music is like Catholicism, you have to practise.
