// Fixing a Hole — The Beatles
// 130 bpm, 12/8, key F minor. 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 (2/4 at bar 1, 12/8 at bar 3) are rendered on a constant 12/8 grid of one bar per cycle
// note: pitch bends are ignored
// note: ch 4 "Bass double" named as a bass, played on acoustic bass (its electric guitar muted patch is not one)
// note: duplicate parts dropped: ch 4 "Bass double" acoustic bass (copy of ch 2 "Bass" acoustic bass)
// note: Full arrangement: all 73 bars on a 24-step grid, each part at one level; ghost notes are separate "_soft" parts. 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.
