// note: pitch bends are ignored
// note: ch 13 "syn bass" named as a bass, played on synth bass 1 (its piano patch is not one)
// note: Full arrangement: all 101 bars on a 16-step grid, each part at one level; ghost notes are separate "_soft" parts. Source detail keeps the original performance.

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