// mother 3 - unfounded revenge — Duncan D.
// 140 bpm, 4/4, key C minor. Source: midi.
// Generated by strudelify. One cycle = one bar.
// note: metre changes (4/4 at bar 1, 2/4 at bar 7, 4/4 at bar 7, 2/4 at bar 11, ...) are rendered on a constant 4/4 grid of one bar per cycle
// note: ch 1 "Piccolo" named as a pipe, played on piccolo (its tremolo strings patch is not one); ch 2 "C Trumpet" named as a brass, played on trumpet (its piano patch is not one); ch 15 "Double Bass" named as a bass, played on acoustic bass (its contrabass patch is not one)
// note: duplicate parts dropped: ch 12 "Violins" string ensemble 1 (copy of ch 7 "Brass" brass section)
// note: Transcription provider: pdmx. https://musescore.com/score/867751; license: https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/
// note: Full arrangement: all 121 bars on a 16-step grid, each part at one level. Source detail keeps the original performance.
