Before the concert begins, a Binary Melate ticket is distributed to each person to fill out and put their name on it. The ticket has 8 boxes that must be marked with either 0 or 1. Each box implies the choice of one of the two pages: 1 or 2, 3 or 4, 5 or 6, etc. The total number of pairs of pages to choose from is 8, so the number of possible versions of the piece is 28=256.

​

During the intermission, the tickets must be collected in a transparent ballot box, so that just before the performance, it is brought to the stage and the performer draws a ticket in full view of the audience, reads the resulting combination, and declares aloud the name of the winner, dedicating the performance of the version they have chosen to them.

Subsequently, in order to read the music, the score is organized by selecting the odd-numbered pages when the marked digit is 1 and the even-numbered pages when the marked digit is 0.

​

Example: In this example, the digits 11100000 were marked, which indicates that, from pages 1 and 2, you choose the odd; from pages 3 and 4, the odd; from pages 5 and 6, the odd; from pages 7 and 8, the even; and so on.

​

Pages chosen = 11100000 Odd, odd, odd, even, even, even, even, even. 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16.
