// note: ch 1 "Violin" named as a string part, played on violin (its acoustic bass patch is not one); ch 4 "Viola" named as a string part, played on viola (its taiko drum patch is not one); ch 16 "Double Bass" named as a bass, played on acoustic bass (its pizzicato strings patch is not one)

// A part's distinct bars are riffs (A, B, C...) played in order: edit a riff to change every repeat.
