The first six sheets are practice. G and H are fresh public checks. These beat-grid scores are exact custom notation, not conventional staff notation. One narrow cell is half a quarter-note beat. The optional WAVs are simple sine-tone demonstrations; paper, voice or silent score analysis meets the task. Do not assume musical listening and silent reading feel identical. The target is an evidence-led design choice and explanation.
File A · Four clear steps
Exact diagram description: Original precise beat-grid notation for File A, Four clear steps. Four quarter-note beats per bar at 96 beats per minute. Each numbered column starts a beat; each narrow half-column lasts one eighth note. Event boxes extend for their full duration. Pitch labels use scientific pitch notation; rest means silence. p means quiet and mf means moderately strong. Reading order: bar 1, main, 1: C4 q (mf); bar 1, main, 2: D4 q (mf); bar 1, main, 3: E4 q (mf); bar 1, main, 4: G4 q (mf).

Tactile route: Draw eight equal raised half-beat cells per bar with tape or folded paper. Make each event one raised block spanning its stated number of cells. Give each pitched block a braille, large-print or spoken pitch label; leave rest cells clearly empty. For File F, place the lower voice under the upper voice on the same time line. For H, continue with a second bar. A neutral partner may place blocks under the learner’s directions.
