Game Instructions

 i) On the menu screen, tap to choose a puzzle to solve. The green button puzzles are the easiest, the red button puzzles are hardest, the amber button puzzles are in between. 

ii) In the game screen, the piano will "tick" the beat and then play a short tune for you to listen to.
You can listen again by tapping on the black "ear" button that appears on the piano when it's on the left-hand side. You can't listen again once you've dragged your first note onto the stave.

iii)  Now start dragging notes from the "toolbar" onto the stave. Try and "notate" what you have heard.

iv) You can play back what you've put on the stave by tapping on the blue "play" button that's at the end of the toolbar. 

v) If you've got it wrong, Beethoven will pull a face, and the piano will come back on to play the tune again. 

vi) Tweak you notation until you get it right! :D 

vii) If your notation is correct on your first go, you will get the maximum increase in your Aural iQ.
If you take many attempts to get it right, your iQ may go down a bit.

viii) If you get stuck, you can tap on the "eye" button to reveal the solution.

ix) For visual instructions, tap on the pale blue "i" button on the puzzle selection screen.
