// 67 bpm, 6/8, key D major. Source: midi.
// Generated by strudelify. One cycle = one bar.
// note: metre changes (2/8 at bar 1, 6/8 at bar 2, 3/8 at bar 27, 6/8 at bar 28, ...) are rendered on a constant 6/8 grid of one bar per cycle
// note: pitch bends are ignored
// note: ch 3 "Mandolin" named as a guitar, played on electric guitar clean (its lead 5 charang patch is not one); ch 7 "Whining Harmonica" named as an organ, played on harmonica (its shanai patch is not one)
// note: Full arrangement: all 76 bars on a 24-step grid, each part at one level. Source detail keeps the original performance.
