Cantella Staves

A breeze moves through the veranda. The glass bells answer. A melody has come apart. Its phrases lie in a bamboo tray, out of order. Listen to the whole tune. Tap a phrase to hear it alone. Drag the pieces onto the stave. Press Play, and the beads ring in the order you chose. When the tune sounds right, the stave shimmers. — Each note is a glass bead on five brushed lines. Its height on the stave is its pitch. Its letter is engraved inside. Colour helps, but position is enough. With the sound off, the tunes can still be solved by eye. — Later, some phrases arrive shifted. A small arrow marks them. Nudge them up or down, one step at a time, until they sit in tune. — Four songbooks. Early Summer. Rainy Season. Festival Night. Late Summer. Twelve tunes in each, forty-eight in all. The melodies grow longer as the season turns. Fewer checks, more stars. Every three stars bring a glass hint that sets one phrase in its place. One daily tune. Come back on following days and a streak begins. A furin collection. Twelve bells with their own patterns, earned by stars and by streaks. Tap any bell to hear it ring. — Sound, haptics and reduced motion can each be switched in Settings. Take it slowly. The tunes will wait.
