Tinkerer - RepeatingBars


Repeating bars report:

   This is VERY handy report to analyze a track's repetition patterns.
   There's a toolbar button for it...

   It breaks the (currently selected) track into bars and looks for repeats.

   VERY useful for drum, bass and rhythm tracks - to see how they repeat.
   Unfortunately, it's not smart enough to compare velocities.
   (And you might not want it to do that anyway.)

   But any bars that match exactly will be pointed out in this little report!

   Here's a quick descrip:
   The lines starting with -- are my comments


   song=\Song\Txt\CantWait\CantWait.song
   trak=Drum   snd=Drum\Drum

   bars=80:  empty=0, norep=0, pats=6
   -- 80 bars total, none of them empty, no unrepeating bars (they ALL repeat)
   -- 6 distinct pattern bars that are repeated later

   bar - bar we're on
   pat - pattern id (unique set of notes in a bar)
   info has...
      quiet[n] = bars with no notes for n bars
      norep[n] = bars that don't repeat for n bars
      rep'd    = this bar will be repeated later (1st time seen)
      nnnn     = this is a repeated pattern first stated in bar nnnn

    bar  pat info
      1    1 rep'd         -- first time pattern1 is used
