# Exact text and tactile alternatives · eight original score sheets 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). **Every printed label in reading order:** - SUBJECTNEST / YEAR 11 / MUSIC - File A · Four clear steps - Original beat-grid score · 4/4 · q = 96 - e = half beat q = one beat h = two beats rest = silence - Bar 1 · main voice - 1 - 1& - 2 - 2& - 3 - 3& - 4 - 4& - C4 - q · mf - D4 - q · mf - E4 - q · mf - G4 - q · mf - Try it: speak pitch names and tap the starts; hold through each box. - Text route: read the exact timed events in the alternative sheet. - Explain one change using duration, pitch, texture or expression. - Original notation | exact text + tactile route | CC BY 4.0 **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. ## File B · A measured gap **Exact diagram description:** Original precise beat-grid notation for File B, A measured gap.
