   "As-built" variant of the PM-1 player: the same firmware/engine, drawn with the
   parts you'd actually solder for an RP2040 build —
     • a 2.0″ 320×240 colour IPS TFT (ST7789, e.g. Pimoroni Pico Display 2.0):
-      the upgrade from the cramped 128×64 mono OLED — full colour, ~5× the
-      resolution, smooth anti-aliased type (rendered hi-DPI on a canvas);
-    • a 4×16 WS2812 ("NeoPixel") RGB matrix (PIO-driven): the bottom row is the
-      beat (cyan downbeats / amber group-starts), and the three rows above stack
-      the current beat's subdivisions as they pass (driven by the finest lane);
+      the upgrade from the cramped 128×64 mono OLED — full colour, smooth type,
+      hi-DPI. It also draws the beat indicator itself — a row of beat dots with
+      the current beat's subdivisions below — so there's no separate LED bar;
     • controls arranged for use: an EC11 encoder below the screen (turning it
       never hides the readout) with arcade pushbuttons spread below — PREV far
       left, NEXT far right, a big central PLAY — so you don't hit the wrong one;
