Basically, above the numbers you will notice a sequence of alter-
nating black and grey sections within the grey strip. The distance
between one black section and another represents the unit of musi-
cal 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 accompaniment chords.
