Publish the Obsidian vault's Knowledge folder as /knowledge (881 notes, 67 folders), with a Knowledge item in the nav and footer. - scripts/import_knowledge.py regenerates data/knowledge from the vault: slugged paths, folder notes as index pages, wikilinks resolved to site links (or plain text), callouts, highlights, and Dataview tables rendered statically. Personal notes are withheld via an exclusion list plus a privacy guard. - tuftecms/core/knowledge.py builds a concept index from note titles and aliases. First mentions on ordinary pages link to their Knowledge note (capped, never in headings, code, links, or sidenotes); Knowledge pages list related notes and where they're mentioned across the site; other pages get a Related Knowledge block. - Knowledge URLs join sitemap.xml (so the sweep test covers them), never displace existing legacy slugs, list alphabetically, and mermaid diagrams render client-side only on pages that have them.

## The Rudiment
|
||
|
||
The double ratamacue is the single ratamacue with an extra drag added at the front. Where the single opens with one drag before its run of taps, the double stacks two drags into the lead-in, then finishes with the same three-stroke run and tail accent. The result is a longer, more ornamented phrase — two ruffs setting up the forward drive to the “cue” — and a stiffer test of clean, consecutive drags.
|
||
|
||
## Sticking
|
||
|
||
The double ratamacue is conventionally written as two drags leading into the ratamacue figure, with the accent on the last note: **rrL llR L R L** as one common form, mirrored on the reverse. Each pair of lowercase strokes is a drag; after the two ruffs, the singles run forward to a closing accented stroke that hands off to the next repetition. Counted in sixteenths with the extra drag as a pickup, the accent still lands on the final note. Notation varies, so hold the structure — two drags in front, accent at the tail.
|
||
|
||
## How to Play
|
||
|
||
The added drag is the whole challenge: both ruffs must stay low, crisp, and evenly matched, and the move from the first drag to the second can’t rush. Keep all the grace notes quiet, run the middle strokes even and unaccented, and save the weight for the closing accent. As with the single ratamacue, resist accenting the drags — let the phrase build toward the “cue.” Slow practice locks in the back-to-back ruffs.
|
||
|
||
## In Practice
|
||
|
||
The double ratamacue features prominently in rudimental snare solos, its stacked drags adding density and momentum to the tail-accented phrase. On the kit the two drags buzz into a dragged fill that resolves on an accented drum. It sits squarely between the single and triple ratamacues as the family scales up one drag at a time.
