// 65 bpm, 6/8, key G major. Source: midi.
// Generated by strudelify. One cycle = one bar.
// note: metre changes (3/8 at bar 1, 6/8 at bar 2) are rendered on a constant 6/8 grid of one bar per cycle
// note: Full arrangement: all 76 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.
