Basically, above the numbers you will notice a sequence of alternating black
and grey sections within the grey strip. The distance between one black sec-
tion and another represents the unit of musical time known as "beat", which
corresponds to the movement of the metronome pointer from one end to
the other. Every black and grey section represents a half "beat".
The instructions (meaning squares with letters) are found under this strip in order to use your left hand to play the accom-
paniment chords.
