// 70 bpm, 4/4, key G major. Source: midi.
// Generated by strudelify. One cycle = one bar.
// note: pitch bends are ignored
// note: ch 8 "Guitar/Synth" named as a guitar, played on electric guitar clean (its cello patch is not one)
// note: duplicate parts dropped: ch 6 "Voice (part 2)" cello (copy of ch 5 "Voice (part 1)" cello)
// note: Full arrangement: all 90 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): Les Paul (for volume).
