// Bedtime Stories (Deep Dish remix) — Madonna
// 112 bpm, 4/4, key G minor. Source: midi.
// Generated by strudelify. One cycle = one bar.
// note: ch 2 "Bass Organ" named as a bass, played on electric bass finger (its lead 8 bass lead patch is not one)
// note: duplicate parts dropped: ch 7 "Bass" acoustic bass (copy of ch 6 "Bass" synth bass 2)
// note: Full arrangement: all 135 bars on a 16-step grid, each part at one level; ghost notes are separate "_soft" parts. Source detail keeps the original performance.
setcpm(112/4)
// Notation: c3@3 lasts 3 steps · ~ is a rest · [c3,e3] is a chord · [...]/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.
