The layout, field by field

Numbers run lowest rim note to highest — the ring order the app’s on-screen pan uses. On a physical handpan the same ascending numbers zigzag: lowest note nearest you, then alternating sides upward. R and L are the app’s suggested hands. Part of the full pan set in the app.
