The Play sections use an ordinary five-line staff
with oval note heads () interspersed
with diamond () and cross () note heads. Play

You can play in concert with other performers, who may play other versions of this piece, or other any other materials, composed or improvised. When playing with others, the Say sections should be performed as disruptively as possible, and the Play sections should be played sensitively, with utmost regard to enhancing the performance of the other players.
