BLACK KEYS - Values separated by a black key are in a 2:1 ratio... unless the black key is broken, in which case the ratio will be same as the ratio written next to the row. (Example: values of 8 and 10 could appear on either side of a broken black key in a row with the clue 5 / 4).
EVEN TAPE - Each tape strip has an even sum.
CRESCENDO - Values increase along the crescendo mark, starting from the pointy end.
