kennethreitz 2fc5aae678 Document sidechain compression and song structure sections 
Effects: sidechain pump with parameters, practical examples, tip
about not sidechaining everything.
Sequencing: song sections with verse/chorus/repeat workflow,
custom names, real songwriting analogy.

kennethreitz ce5f3e7626 Document humanize in sequencing guide 
Values, use cases, combo with swing for realistic feel.
Convolution reverb was already documented in effects guide.

kennethreitz f9654fcdea Clean up code formatting: black-style, remove >>> from config snippets 
Multi-line part creation uses vertical layout with trailing commas.
Configuration snippets use code-block:: python (clean, no >>>).
Interactive exploration keeps pycon format.
Mixed blocks split into setup + exploration.

kennethreitz 119dd2d921 Add conversational prose throughout all 5 guide pages 
Sequencing: Score concept, time signatures for non-musicians, Parts as
DAW tracks, arpeggiator/legato/glide context with TB-303 and acid history.
Synths: synthesis philosophy, DX7/Juno/JP-8000 history, practical combos.
Effects: real-music context (The Edge, DJ knobs, shower reverb), why signal
chain order matters, automation as breathing, LFO as repeating automation.
Drums: drums-as-genre foundation, genre group cultural context, fills as
transition signals, drum synthesis as real drum machine techniques.
Playback: three output options context, MIDI as the working musician's path.

kennethreitz 80698ccc3a Restructure docs: 5 focused pages + why-compose-in-Python intro 
Break rhythm.rst and playback.rst into:
- sequencing.rst: Score, Parts, Duration, arpeggiator, legato
- synths.rst: 10 waveforms, 8 envelopes, combo recommendations
- effects.rst: signal chain, 5 effects, automation, LFOs
- drums.rst: DrumSound, 58 patterns, 21 fills, synthesis
- playback.rst: simplified output functions only

Rewrite index.rst with "Why compose in Python?" section explaining
the sketch→hear→export→DAW workflow, plus comprehensive highlights.
