    In case it's unclear, the tune created by the X's and O's is Crosshare's puzzle completed jingle.
    (Thanks to my friend Will for transcribing it!)

            if it's treble clef, it should be B-A-B-high D-B-high F-high G, G-B-high D-high F (no idea what notes sound like though)
          • Elle 🤓9:21 · 2023-09-19T16:28:30.091Z
            Haha, well done

                Conceptually interesting AND meta. Nicely done!

                  That's brilliant is what that is. What a clever idea. I'm glad I figured it out before revealing the spoiler - very satisfying
                  • Sendhil Revuluri 🤓3:33 · 2023-09-20T15:10:31.827Z
                    Wow! That is quite something.
                    • Kent 🤓7:16 · 2023-09-21T01:44:56.112Z
                      My mind is blown! I read the pitches off the staff slightly differently: B-A-B-high D-A- high F- high G for the sax; then a G major flourish for the harp: G-B-D-G! I can even imagine drawing a line through the O’s and it gives the rough outline of a sax. So cool!
