Not a family member, I already wrote it down, but not on the same piece of paper. You're begging for the lion to eat you.
The point is, with your seeds protected, you can tattoo the string on your ass if you like, and it will be as safe as if you hid it anywhere else (though it may be a bit unconfortable to read...  Wink).

You now have 2 piece of papers to hide, which cannot be stored in the same place.

I am someone who is 100% alone in my life. My dad died in '84. My mother is also dead. My best friend lives over 10000 miles away from me, maybe in Georgia, maybe in Finland, I don't know. I haven't been able to get in contact with her since 2017.

If you find that for your particular situation creating a new encryption to hide your seed if good, do it. For your particular situation, this may be effective. maybe you live in a place which is quite dangerous and a thief looking for a seed may get into your house. The risky of losing money by adding this extra "encryption" is higher than the chance it will ever saving money from a thief for 99,9% of the people. Maybe you are the 0,1%

 But your situation is very unlikely, and it is much more likely the most of people in this forum have someone to share the seed with.

So, is your method good for you? Maybe.
Is it good for most of people? Certainly not.

The problem here is that your family member probably won't remember it, or even care about this whole music coded stuff.
As it is very unlikely that you will accidentally die, you are asking for something very complicated for a family member that will most likely never do it (so he also won't put all effort you are demanding him in his "traning" to recover your funds)

Well, if they wouldn't put in the effort, they shouldn't reap the benefits, should they?

I don't agree.

I am certain a lot of users here have small kids.

Let's suppose you have a 2 year old kid. You kindly ask your old father (who knows little about computers) to take care of your precious seed for you, in case you die, so your kid can have access to your money.

Many of us wouldn't trust the kid's mother (as she could just ran away with your money and kid). Should your kid be reap off his rights just because you have a capricious desire for an extra layer of protection (which is technically not needed and not recommend by the community).
