The first chord is given. Write the soprano on the treble staff and the bass on the bass staff for every other chord. Click in a chord's column at the pitch you hear. Clicking again moves that note. The bass counts in any octave. For numerals, click the box under a chord, then pick the numeral, figures and any secondary target.
