// Lovin' Whiskey — Rory Block
// 72 bpm, 4/4, key D major. Source: midi.
// Generated by strudelify. One cycle = one bar.
// note: metre changes (4/4 at bar 1, 2/4 at bar 6, 4/4 at bar 7, 2/4 at bar 22, ...) are rendered on a constant 4/4 grid of one bar per cycle
// note: ch 5 "STEEL GTR" named as a guitar, played on acoustic guitar steel (its piano patch is not one); ch 7 "ORGAN 1" named as an organ, played on drawbar organ (its piano patch is not one); ch 8 "ORGAN 2" named as an organ, played on drawbar organ (its piano patch is not one)
// note: sustain pedal (CC 64) lengthens the held notes
// note: Full arrangement: all 64 bars on a 16-step grid, each part at one level; ghost notes are separate "_soft" parts. Source detail keeps the original performance.
// note: Guitar parts that double another keep only their own notes (fills, solos): STEEL GTR.
setcpm(72/4)
// 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.
// bass · acoustic bass · "ACOU BASS"
