// Gallows Pole — Led Zeppelin
// 84 bpm, 4/4, key A major. Source: midi.
// Generated by strudelify. One cycle = one bar.
// note: metre changes (4/4 at bar 1, 2/4 at bar 9, 4/4 at bar 10, 2/4 at bar 15, ...) are rendered on a constant 4/4 grid of one bar per cycle
// note: duplicate parts dropped: ch 3 "voice" pad sweep (copy of ch 1 "voice" bagpipe)
// note: Full arrangement: all 94 bars on a 16-step grid, each part at one level. Source detail keeps the original performance.
// note: Guitar parts that double another keep only their own notes (fills, solos): mandolin.
setcpm(84/4)

// 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.
