Mixed Music - Listening Puzzle/Game
Game
From the Practice section of the songs by level.
Easy puzzles will be out of order only. Medium and Hard puzzles introduce additional buttons that change the notes of the selected measure.
Enable custom difficulty levels to control which elements are used for added or reduced difficulty.
Click a measure to select it; click again to hear it.
Correct the order by clicking one measure to select it, then the other to swap their positions.
How to Play
The song list contains short excerpts from (mostly) Hololive talents which are divided into 4-12 measures. When a puzzle is generated, the measures of the song will be randomly mixed up and changed (based on the difficulty level). To solve the puzzle, correct the music to restore the original song.
Click the Play button (or type p) to hear the song correctly. Click the Check button (or type c) to hear the current arrangement of measures. When it matches the original, the puzzle is solved and the song selection menu will be displayed.
To restore the song, click on any measure to select it. Clicking on it again will play that measure in isolation. While selected, you can make changes to correct the music:
Click on a different measure to swap their positions.
Click on the Order button (or type o), to change the order of the notes.
Click on the Pitch button (or type i), to change the pitch of the notes.
Click on the Length button (or type l), to change the duration of the notes.
Click on the Key button (or type k), to change the key between major and minor.
(Only the options used in creation of the puzzle will be available.)
When you select a puzzle, song's difficulty level will set the possible puzzle elements automatically. Enabling Customize Puzzle Elements allow these can be changed to make the puzzle easier or harder. Puzzle elements can be Always applied, Never applied, or applied at Random. (Count of the Random elements will be chosen for the puzzle.)
For an additional challenge: Blind mode will hide the notes of each measure. Deaf mode will not allow listening to individual measures, only the complete piece. Memory mode will not allow listening to the original music, you must reconstruct it from memory (or try finding and using the corresponding part from the MV on Youtube).

Added additional symbols for 'Blind' challenge mode.
Fixed a bug where solving an already solved puzzle did not return you to the main menu.

Added 9 new puzzles.
Improved selection of the midpoint pitch. The visuals should be better centered on the score and flipped-pitch puzzles should be less likely to produce obviously incorrect measures.
Added 'Memory' challenge mode. Reproduce the music from memory or using the youtube MV instead of the synthesized original.
Added instrument selection. Songs may be rendered by one of four synthesizers.
Minor UI improvements. Radio button and checkbox labels are now clickable. Improved generation of the files to better support variations in the future.
Fixed a bug where previously solved puzzles appeared as unsolved in the "By Name" dropdown menu.
1 January 2023

Added ADSR envelopes to the instrument definition. The default instrument should sound 'cleaner' and more interesting instruments should be possible in the future.
6 November 2022
Added 10 new puzzles.
Added new dropdown menus for song selection sorting/filtering by difficulty, name or unsolved puzzles.
Changed the "Length" puzzle type to add or remove a swing-like tempo. Previously this switched the duration of the longer and shorter notes.

Fixed an issue where Chrome was clamping audio samples distorting lower notes.
