-- Basic Semantics V2 for a Reactive Music Cellular Automaton.
-- Inspired by the reacTogon.
-- Written by Henrik Nilsson, 2016-05-27
-- Based on an earlier version.
--
-- This gives the semantics of a single RMCA layer. The output is
-- a high-level representation of notes for each beat. This is to be
-- translated to low-level MIDI message by a subsequent translator
-- responsible for merging notes from different layers, ensuring that
-- a note off message corresponding to each note on message is always
-- emitted after the appropriate time, rendering any embellismnets
-- such as slides (while not generating too much MIDI data), etc.

-- ToDo:
-- * Add boolean flag to change direction to indicate start tile
--   DONE!
-- * Change main routine to generate start play heads from board
--   DONE!
-- * Add an optional restart facility: Maybe Int, restart every n
--   bars.
--   DONE!
-- * Interpret a negative repeat as repeat indefinitely.
--   DONE!
-- * Interpret a non-positve duration as mute: don't emit any note.
--   DONE!
-- * Eliminate Ignore as now almost the same as Absorb with duration 0?
--   The only difference is that Absorb mostly overrides the repeat count.
--   Absorb = Stop {duration 0, repeat 1}
--   And as absorb might be a common case, it might be useful to have
--   a distinct graphical representation?
--   DECIDED AGAINST FOR NOW

-- Time and Beats
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-- Non-negative.

-- The beat number in the time signature of the layer. The first beat is 1.

-- Articulation

-- Each layer has a setting that indicate how strongly the notes

-- Duration

-- Duration in terms of a whole note at the *system* tempo. (Each layer
-- is clocked at a layer beat that is a fraction/multiple of the system

-- of the pitch, such as a trill or a grace note. Here we use the term in
-- a generalised sense.
--   * A MIDI program change (to be sent before the note).
--   * A MIDI Continuous Controler Change (to be sent before the note).
--   * A Slide

--   * The strength (st) would be dynamic, configurable as either the strength
--     set through the user interface or the strength of the last external
--     note received for the layer (derived from its MIDI velocity).
