building ------------------------------------------------------------ One pitched note, after everything already in the score. `pNote` is a note name ("A4", "C#3", "Bb2", "D4+50") or a frequency in Hz.QCSXTZZZIBWU

MU4: a note whose pitch MOVES from one pitch to another over its whole length -- a meend, a Zarma slide, a kalangu's squeezed tone. Names or Hz.no extension

MU3: a note at an explicit beat, for a score built from a pattern. It does not move where the next Note() goes; the length grows to cover it.no extension

The length in beats, set outright -- a pattern's cycles end where they end, whatever their last note does.no extension

(no comment in the source: the name reads as a sentence) restQCSXTZZZIBWU

A struck sound on a membrane -- :dum, :tak, :ka, or :kick, :snare, :hihat on the kit. Which drum strikes it is the instrument's business (On).QCSXTZZZIBWU

Space-separated names, one beat each; the octave carries; ~ rests.QCSXTZZZIBWU

the algebra --------------------------------------------------------- SEQUENCE: the other score starts where this one ends.QCSXTZZZIBWU

PARALLEL: the other score starts where this one starts. The length is the longer of the two.QCSXTZZZIBWU

The same score, n times in sequence.QCSXTZZZIBWU

AND it names the notes this score gains AFTERWARDS by Note and Stroke. The first cut was the pure modifier only, and the very first smoke test fell into it: StzSoundScoreQ().On(:Drumkit) then twenty strokes named NOTHING (the score was empty when On ran), so every stroke went to the default piano and was refused. A rule that the first user breaks in the first line is the rule's fault. Scores joined by Then or Together keep their own naming -- an unnamed part stays unnamed until an outer On names it.QCSXTZZZIBWU

Semitones, fractional allowed (0.5 is a quarter tone). Strokes keep their pitch: a transposed drum pattern is the same drum pattern.QCSXTZZZIBWU

the performance settingsQCSXTZZZIBWU

Snap every start to the nearest multiple of `pnGrid` beats (0.25 = a sixteenth). 0 turns it off. Durations are left alone.QCSXTZZZIBWU

SWING: the first of each PAIR of subdivisions lasts `pnRatio` of the pair. 0.5 is straight, 2/3 is a triplet swing, 0.75 a dotted one. Every position is warped, not only those on the grid -- the first half of each pair is stretched and the second compressed, piecewise-linearly -- so a note between two grid points moves with its neighbours instead of jumping past one.QCSXTZZZIBWU

WHICH DECLARED MODE FITS: every mode of every universe, every note tried as its tonic, scored by how far (in cents) each note sits from the nearest degree of the mode, going up or coming down -- the mean. [ universe, mode, tonicHz, meanCentsOff ], best first. It ranks the DECLARATIONS; a tie is reported as a tie.no extension

WHERE A BEAT LANDS, in 0-based frames at `pnRate`: quantised, then swung, then timed. The one place beats become frames -- the offline render and the live scheduler both call it, so they cannot disagree about when a note is.no extension
