// note: ch 13 "Bass Drum" (taiko drum patch on one pitch) is played as the kit's kick
// note: Full arrangement: all 104 bars on a 16-step grid, each part at one level; ghost notes are separate "_soft" parts. Source detail keeps the original performance.
// note: Guitar parts that double another keep only their own notes (fills, solos): Guitar Harmonics.
