// The Great Gig in the Sky — Pink Floyd
// 59 bpm, 4/4, key G minor. Source: midi.
// Generated by strudelify. One cycle = one bar.
// note: track names are the Roland MT-32 patch names at their program numbers ("Harmo Pan Lead" on 33, "Fantasy Lead" on 32, "chorale" on 34, "Shakuhachi" on 107), so with no bank select the whole file is read through the MT-32 patch table: ch 5 "Bass Line" Acou Bass 2 -> acoustic bass; ch 6 "Harmo Pan Lead" Harmo Pan -> pad warm; ch 4 "Celeste" Celesta 1 -> celesta; ch 7 "Fantasy Lead" Fantasy -> pad new age; ch 8 "chorale" Chorale -> choir aahs; ch 9 "Shakuhachi" Shakuhachi -> shakuhachi
// note: Full arrangement: all 65 bars on a 48-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.
