// 210 bpm, 4/4, key E major. Source: midi.
// Generated by strudelify. One cycle = one bar.
// note: Tempo changes preserved in elapsed time; displayed bars use the dominant tempo.
// note: metre changes (4/4 at bar 1, 2/4 at bar 47) are rendered on a constant 4/4 grid of one bar per cycle
// note: ch 11 "Trumpet 3" named as a brass, played on trumpet (its acoustic bass patch is not one); ch 15 "Trombone 1" named as a brass, played on trombone (its slap bass 2 patch is not one)
// note: duplicate parts dropped: ch 8 "Trumpet 2" trumpet (copy of ch 6 trumpet)
// note: Transcription provider: pdmx. https://musescore.com/score/5911124; license: https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/
// note: Full arrangement: all 53 bars on a 16-step grid, each part at one level. 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.
