What is meaning of “ Of course not” in this sentence？
“So, if they had been able to read music, would they have gone a different route, becoming session musicians, perhaps not bothering to write their own songs? Of course not. Their view was that being properly trained would only hold them back.”
What is the meaning of “ Of course not” here？Does it just mean they would not have gone a different route？

Yes, you're correct. It's used to emphasise that they would not have done it.
It could be written as '...bothering to write their own songs? Certainly not. Their view was that...' or
'...bothering to write their own songs? Definitely not. Their view was that...' or
'...bothering to write their own songs? Obviously not. Their view was that...'
Each example I have given though can skew the meaning and the person in which it is written.
