// 126 bpm, 4/4, key G major. Source: midi.
// Generated by strudelify. One cycle = one bar.
// note: metre changes (4/4 at bar 1, 2/4 at bar 40, 4/4 at bar 40) are rendered on a constant 4/4 grid of one bar per cycle
// note: ch 1 "Billy Corgan-Vocals" named as an organ, played on drawbar organ (its tenor sax patch is not one)
// note: Full arrangement: all 86 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): James Iha-Guitar 1.

// A part's distinct bars are riffs (A, B, C...) played in order: edit a riff to change every repeat.
