About “Diamonds”

How do the bar-notation visuals help sing "Diamonds" with this backing?

Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
Is this a karaoke version of "Diamonds"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Diamonds", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "Diamonds" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
