// Against The Wind — Bob Seger
// 110 bpm, 4/4, key G major. Source: mcgill + midi.
// Generated by strudelify. One cycle = one bar.
// note: pitch bends are ignored
// note: ch 2 "E. Piano" named as a piano, played on epiano1 (its overdriven guitar patch is not one)
// note: Full arrangement: all 121 bars on a 16-step grid, each part at one level. Source detail keeps the original performance.
setcpm(110/4)
// Notation: c3@3 lasts 3 steps · ~ is a rest · [c3,e3] is a chord · "a, b" plays two voices at once · [...]/2 spreads a riff over 2 bars.
// A part's distinct bars are riffs (A, B, C...) played in order: edit a riff to change every repeat.
// chords · drawbar organ · "Synth"
