There is a typo in this dialogue. I believe it should say "you put" and not "put you".

I may be wrong, but "put you" looks correct to me. "Put you off" being slang for "being bothered by." I think this one is not a typo. But still rocks that you (and others) take the time to report this kind of stuff. Makes the game amazing!

[SirBrighton]

"Put you off" is indeed slang, but neither makes sense in this context nor is grammatically correct.
"Put off" is also slang for "an effect caused by someone/something", as in "he put off an intimidating aura" or "it put off a pleasant smell". In this sense I believe the Minstrel is saying he will be observing every note you "put off" from the fife.

Maybe you're just getting a bit confused due to the long sentence. Remove the clause to make sense of it.

"Try not to let it* put you off."

*it = the fact that a professional musician etc etc.

Grammatically correct.

[SirBrighton]

Ah, yeah, the long sentence was what was throwing me off. This isn't a bug after all.
Thanks for clarifying this for me!
