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: tick-tick-boom pulse (root bass · 8ths 1-2, 3-4) in the left hand and hopscotch bells in the right, over the C – Fm – C – Fm 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.
