# NOODLE: the song book. Songs written by hand, every part composed with the others.
# The format, the checks and the packing: tools/noodle/songbook.py (run it after any change here).
#
# How these are written (the same for every song, so a new one can be judged against it):
#   - the genre's own rhythm first: where its bass and its chords fall is what makes it that genre;
#   - a tune is a short motif heard again: said, said again with another ending, said, answered. It lands on a
#     note of the bar's chord on the beat, moves mostly by step, and leaves room at the end of the phrase;
#   - chords are voicings that share notes from one to the next, so the hands barely move;
#   - the bass starts each bar on the chord's root and walks into the next one;
#   - the second take of a tune is not a variation of the first but its partner: where one is busy the other waits.
# Nothing here is taken from a record: the progressions and rhythms are each genre's common practice.

# A deep four-on-the-floor with hand drums over it. The tune is a mallet figure on the 3 + 3 + 2 of the clave,
# two chords held for two bars each, a short bass that moves with the kick.

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------- METAL ---
# Melodic death metal, as its players and teachers describe it (NOODLE-NOTES.md has the sources). The rules these
# six are written by:
#   - the guitar plays fifths, not full chords, and is locked to the kick: a groove's G lane is its rhythm;
#   - a riff is the low string chugged (written soft: `,`) with a tune picked out between the chugs (the pedal
#     riff), or fifths struck open and left to ring;
#   - the root moves home, sixth, fifth, or home, fourth, third, fifth; the scale is natural minor, with the raised
#     seventh only where the round turns back home, or the flat second for a darker riff;
#   - the lead is an accent, not the song (Sean, 2026-10-14: "metal often has an emphasis on the other 3 tracks
#     with lead guitar being an accent"): it answers the riff in the second half of bars 2 and 4, two guitars a
#     third apart (written B4+D5) or one, and is silent the rest of the time;
#   - the keys are B minor and C minor: where the two bands Sean named tune their guitars.
# The chords and the bass together are three notes at most, so two guitars in the tune still leave the drums room.
