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: tap-dance footsteps (root bass · 1 · 1a · 2 · 2& · 3 · 4) in the left hand and swing push in the right, over the E – Esus4 – E – Esus4 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.
