The last note from line 2 was D. Now we have a red, ascending Perfect 5th VINT, which means there are six notes between D and the target note A.

Next is the red dot VINT. Unlike the black Unison, this red one means we play the same note an octave higher on the keyboard.

Here are lines 1 to 3 for you with the actual notes written inside the VINT. Remember the starting note is D so everything is relative from the note D.
