// Suzie Q — Creedence Clearwater Revival
// 128 bpm, 4/4, key E major. Source: midi.
// Generated by strudelify. One cycle = one bar.
// note: pitch bends are ignored
// note: sustain pedal (CC 64) lengthens the held notes
// note: duplicate parts dropped: ch 6 "Clean Gt." electric guitar clean (copy of ch 4 "Steel-str. Gt." acoustic guitar steel)
// note: Full arrangement: all 148 bars on a 16-step grid, each part at one level. Source detail keeps the original performance.
// note: Guitar parts that double another keep only their own notes (fills, solos): Steel-str. Gt., Steel-str. Gt., Overdrive Gt., Gt. Harmonics.

// 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.
// bass · electric bass finger · "Fingered Bass"
