Run the Changes

You are the melody. Tap a line or space — the note sounds wherever you stand.

Be inside a gold door — the 3rd or the 7th — when each barline lands.
Root & 5th are safe. Everything else is a void note.

wherever the note stands, it sounds — move freely, melody is never punished · be inside a door (the 3rd or the 7th) when the barline lands · root & 5th side-doors are safe but score nothing · hold space to lift the finger (rests) · P pauses · while paused, tap any door to ask why
Theory Check — game engine vs THIRI MCP vs naïve pitch-class engine
Ground truth captured live from the THIRI MCP (analyze_chord, key-aware). The naïve column shows what a pitch-class engine produces: wrong enharmonic spellings and no staff position at all for chromatic guide tones — which is why notation-accurate gameplay needs the THIRI engine underneath.
