- Clef and tuning can be chosen freely, but must remain the same for the duration of the
    performance
- Between the individual systems per square, the choice is free; in the case of

    mute change takes place, it should only be carried out after the end of the system.
- Key signatures only apply to the following note only apply to the following note.

- The character is rather calm, with a soundscape structure.
- The piece ends as soon as the last instrument has finished playing its sheet.
