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: groovy roots (root bass · syncopated 8ths) in the left hand, with the right hand free for the melody, over the Cm – Abmaj7 – G – Cm – Abmaj7 – G 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.
