// note: duplicate parts dropped: ch 11 "ORGAN 2" percussive organ (copy of ch 12 "OBOE" oboe)
// note: Full arrangement: all 77 bars on a 16-step grid, each part at one level. Source detail keeps the original performance.

// A part's distinct bars are riffs (A, B, C...) played in order: edit a riff to change every repeat.
