// 104 bpm, 4/4, key C major. Source: midi.
// Generated by strudelify. One cycle = one bar.
// note: duplicate parts dropped: ch 1 "Piano-M" piano (copy of ch 4 "Shanai-M" contrabass); ch 3 "Piano-G2" piano (copy of ch 5 "Distortion-G" distortion guitar); ch 5 "Distortion-G" distortion guitar (copy of ch 8 "Bass-G" synth bass 2)
// note: Full arrangement: all 77 bars on a 16-step grid, each part at one level. Source detail keeps the original performance.
// note: Guitar parts that double another keep only their own notes (fills, solos): Overdriven-A.

// 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.
