Notes slide across the staff and you name each before it leaves the edge, except the clef keeps shifting underfoot.
Was this fun?
How to play
Waves of notes drift right to left across a staff. Name the leftmost note by its letter before it exits. Between waves the clef changes, treble, bass or a movable C-clef whose position drifts, so the very same line becomes a different pitch and you must re-read.
Watch the clef label; it tells you how to read the lines this wave
A correct letter clears the note; a wrong guess or a note that exits costs a life
Three lives, eight waves per round; speed and streaks raise your score

Tips & strategy
Re-anchor on the clef the moment a new wave starts rather than trusting the previous reading
Name the leftmost note first, it is closest to exiting and the only one that scores right now
