Can one person play this by themself? If so, what does each hand do?

[smalin]

@bergk1mp The dark green part is played by the feet; the hands play everything else (with the dark violet part being played by whichever hand is closer to it, mostly).

The 1980s style computer graphic that goes with this reminds me of that movie, War Games, with Matthew Broderick!

[smalin]

@babypuppy69 btw, it looks like it's from the 1980s because I invented the software in the 1980s

@SICKxCHARISMAxTURTLE Parts in a 4-part piece are sometimes referred to as soprano, alto, tenor, and bass. A stop is a sub-instrument of the organ (typically a set of pipes that sound the same that cover the range of a keyboard or pedalboard). A quint stop sounds at the interval of a fifth (or, more often, an octave plus a fifth) higher than the pitch of the key which plays it.

Now THIS man was genius.

@smalin

I was intrigued by these comments.

By curiosity, what exactly do you mean by "stops on the alto voice" being a "quint"?

I haven't heard those terms before.

@godsloved3 What you're probably hearing is a quint stop on the organ, playing a fifth above the major third in the final chord.
