I think the musical notes angle is a stretch
This clue image fits perfectly inside blocks 2,5, and 15 (from the left)
Not sure what that means, if anything at all.

- Determine how the first-step encoding in the color bar puzzle was supposed to work
IMO, at this point, the simplest explanation of the drastically different last-two-word encoding of the color-bar puzzle indicates a flaw in the initial puzzle design. Given that, the 'slippage' we've noticed in cipher encoding is best explained as a mistake, or distraction, rather than a clue.
Maybe it's just time for bed.
