Myst Hints
I'm too tone deaf to solve the puzzle in the spaceship!
1 of 4: Something that helped me get through this puzzle was realizing that the bottom position on each slider corresponded to the lowest note on the keyboard.
2 of 4: Each step up on the sliders is equivalent to one key to the right on the keyboard, up to the top, which is the right-most note.
3 of 4: If you move the sliders very slowly (hold your mouse button down and drag them), you should be able to tell when you've gone up one key.
4 of 4: Just count the position of each note on the keyboard, and you should be able copy the notes onto the sliders.
