// Feliz Navidad — Jose Feliciano
// 140 bpm, 4/4, key D major. Source: midi.
// Generated by strudelify. One cycle = one bar.
// note: track names are the Roland MT-32 patch names at their program numbers ("Bass" on 65, "BELL Melody" on 38), so with no bank select the whole file is read through the MT-32 patch table: ch 2 "Bass" Acou Bass 2 -> acoustic bass; ch 3 "BELL Melody" Warm Bell -> pad bowed; ch 1 "PIANO" Warm Bell -> pad bowed
// note: Full arrangement: all 78 bars on a 16-step grid, each part at one level; ghost notes are separate "_soft" parts. Source detail keeps the original performance.

// Notation: c3@3 lasts 3 steps · ~ is a rest · [c3,e3] is a chord · "a, b" plays two voices at once · [...]/2 spreads a riff over 2 bars.
// A part's distinct bars are riffs (A, B, C...) played in order: edit a riff to change every repeat.
// bass · acoustic bass · "Bass"
