Thanks everyone for the feedback! I've improved the visibility on both versions, while trying to keep the "right feel" intact. If anyone still has issues with seeing pencil marks, I recommend testing if turning "Outlines on digits" on or off helps (settings ->visual).

Nice puzzle. But even the visual optimized Version is still a nightmare for phone users with small screens like me. But fair enough it match the topic ;D

Really fun puzzle, but I will admit even the grey lines were still too dark, making scanning a bit difficult. Thinner lines may have fixed that.

Grey version rules no longer refer to a "dark brown line".

Added a grey tree version due to feedback.

Puzzle itself was fun, but the black, thick lines really aren't ideal for notation visibility.
