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 flamacue is a five-note figure bracketed by flams, but its defining trait is misdirection: the flam opens the phrase quietly, and the accent lands not on that flam but on the very next note. So you get a soft flammed downbeat, a sudden loud second stroke, two more light strokes, and a closing flam. The ear is pulled off the beat and onto the “and,” which gives the flamacue its distinctive lurch.
|
||
|
||
That displaced accent is the whole personality of the rudiment. It is a flam exercise, but really it is an exercise in placing weight where the listener doesn’t expect it.
|
||
|
||
## Sticking
|
||
|
||
The standard PAS sticking is **lR L R rL** for the first pass and **rL R L lR** for the second, alternating. The flam sits on the first note and again on the last (which becomes the launch of the next repetition), while the accent falls on the second note — the first plain single after the opening flam. Counted in sixteenths, the opening flam is on the beat and the accent lands on the “e.”
|
||
|
||
## How to Play
|
||
|
||
Keep the opening flam soft and controlled; if it’s too loud it steals the accent’s thunder. Then drive the second stroke hard — that’s the “cue.” The two middle strokes settle back to a low, even level, and the closing flam prepares the opposite hand. The difficulty is dynamic discipline: a quiet flam, an explosive accent, and even taps between, all inside one quick figure.
|
||
|
||
## In Practice
|
||
|
||
The flamacue is a classic rudimental solo and audition piece, prized precisely because its off-beat accent exposes any sloppiness in dynamic control. It appears throughout traditional snare literature and makes a striking, syncopated accent when translated to the drum set.
