// Besame Mucho — Apollo 100
// 120 bpm, 4/4, key A minor. Source: midi.
// Generated by strudelify. One cycle = one bar.
// note: bank select 127 (Roland MT-32 map) read through the MT-32 patch table: 
// note: duplicate parts dropped: ch 5 "CLEAN GTR" electric guitar clean (copy of ch 4 "STRINGS" string ensemble 1)
// note: Full arrangement: all 105 bars on a 16-step grid, each part at one level. Source detail keeps the original performance.
// note: The whole transcription plays 17 ms ahead of the beat; the grid follows it, so its parts stay together.
setcpm(120/4)

// 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, A@4 for four bars: edit a riff to change every repeat.
