The first exercise in the user guide. One staff, C major, twelve measures. This page only introduces the score. Editing, playback, the keyboard, and delete are in the studio.

Original work

The original is the traditional tune Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. The melody is known from the French song Ah! vous dirai-je, maman and is treated as public domain. The Korean on-screen title is 작은 별. The ABC composer field says Traditional.

The arrangement on this site

The example sets that melody in 4/4, quarter notes, tempo 90, on one staff. It does not copy an accompaniment or the words from a published songbook. There are no lyrics.
