No... he's actually quoting the text that should be on the page, not
describing the musical elements.  It's a series of bullet points
describing in words what is displayed above it.

So clearly you're not seeing what he is :)

On the plus side: Paul Hartman is a genius; installing 'corefonts' has
fixed a bunch of previously-broken Facebook games.  But sadly, not this
musictheory page, so I must still be missing the fonts.

Paul, Is there a way to tell which font the Flash animation is trying to
use?
