Score Information 1. [-] indicates a fermata, one beat for every cell 2. The twelve-string tuning symbols indicate the base pitch, and actual pitch fluctuates according to water level 3. The score corresponds with the twelve strings' positions from top to bottom
Performance Notes This score is only recorded with standard melodic phrases, and actual performance is influenced by the following factors: 1. During the rising tide, the pitch naturally rises as well 2. The timbre becomes more sonorous during quicker currents 3. The harmony becomes richer when storms descend 4. When a performance takes place along a coast, resonance is amplified
Special Performance Influences ≈ Wave Sounds: Produced during intense currents ↑ Rising Tide Sounds: Pitch rises with the water level ↓ Receding Tide Sounds: Pitch lowers with the water level ～ Afterecho: Persists as flow changes
[Reminder] 1. Please do not perform when during black tide disasters 2. Phagousa's holy water must be imbibed first before battle 3. Please protect the lyre from water when performing in storms 4. Beware of Zagreus' disciples who may secretly replace the lyre's strings
