// Funk #49 — Joe Walsh
// 91 bpm, 4/4, key A major. Source: midi.
// Generated by strudelify. One cycle = one bar.
// note: pitch bends are ignored
// note: duplicate parts dropped: ch 1 "Guitar" overdriven guitar (copy of ch 4 distortion guitar); ch 9 brass section (copy of ch 7 brass section)
// note: Full arrangement: all 85 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.
setcpm(91/4)
// Notation: c3@3 lasts 3 steps · ~ is a rest · [c3,e3] is a chord · "a, b" plays two voices at once.
// A part's distinct bars are riffs (A, B, C...) played in order: edit a riff to change every repeat.
// bass · electric bass pick · "Bass"
