What the sheet music shows
The grand staff: the right hand on the treble staff, the left hand on the bass staff, with the chord names above and a finger number on each note (1 is the thumb). It is the accompaniment: gear-shift pulse (root bass · 1 · 1& · 2 · 2& · 3& · 4 · 4&) in the left hand and cartwheel chords in the right, over the F – C – G – Am chords.
Press play and a cursor follows the music. Above it, Colours paints each note in its key’s colour and Note names writes its letter on its head.
