Set up your piano roll
4/4 · Two connected bars · Blue notes are given and locked. Listen after the four-beat count-in.

Correct piano roll
Original piano-roll practice inspired by Music Technology sequencing tasks. Melody levels add shorter notes and wider movement; drum levels add off-beat hits. The first and last notes/hits are given. Each question is marked out of 10. Marking compares pitch/instrument onsets and occupied time cells, excluding given notes; extra or missing cells reduce your mark.
