A two-page printable PDF with ten diagram-supported student questions and a matching answer key. The activity uses software-neutral edit scenarios rather than interface screenshots.
What students practice
- Select the intended part, measure, and note before editing.
- Distinguish changes to pitch, duration, tempo, and written dynamics.
- Check a four-beat measure for missing or excess duration.
- Compare an editable score with its PDF preview before sharing.
Classroom use
All duration questions use 4/4, with one quarter note per beat. Use this page during an introductory notation unit or as a checklist discussion before students submit an original melody. Have students name the exact musical property they would change before opening a menu. A brief practical extension can compare the written score with playback to show why neither check replaces the other.
Common questions

Is the answer key included?
Yes. Page 2 repeats the student layout and adds concise accepted answers.
Can students complete this without a device?
Yes. All necessary scenario information is printed on the student page.
