Every page now ends on prose instead of a code block.
Chords, tones, scales, effects, drums, CLI, cookbook,
fretboard, playback, systems, theory — each with a
sentence that ties the page together.

Systems: fix "four" to "six", add cultural context for each system
(Indian ragas, Arabic maqam, Japanese koto, Blues Delta origins,
Gamelan's influence on Debussy). Each system feels alive now.
Fretboard: add scale_diagram chord highlighting, non-string instruments note.
Theory: warmer opening, cross-reference to composition guide.
Tones, scales, chords, cli: verified complete — no changes needed.

- Fretboard.chord(), .tab(), .chart() convenience methods
- Fingering.tab() for rendering ASCII tablature
- Fingering algorithm now considers muting, fret span, root-in-bass,
and contiguous bass-side muting for idiomatic voicings
- All docs converted from code-block:: python to pycon with >>> prompts
- All doc outputs verified against actual library output
- Tests for new methods; version test no longer checks exact string

New `fb.chord("G")` API lets you look up fingerings by chord name
instead of knowing fret positions upfront. Updates all docs to use
REPL-style examples with verified output.

Every guide page rewritten with deep music theory content:
- Tones: scientific pitch notation, frequency/pitch relationship,
temperament history (equal/Pythagorean/meantone), interval table
with song examples, circle of fifths
- Scales: interval pattern construction, major/minor/harmonic minor
theory, all 7 modes with character descriptions and song references,
scale degree names and functions, diatonic harmony and common
chord progressions (I-IV-V, I-V-vi-IV, ii-V-I)
- Chords: triad and seventh chord construction tables, all 12 chord
qualities with interval formulas, consonance/dissonance theory
(Pythagoras to Plomp-Levelt), beat frequency perceptual ranges
- Fretboard: how frets work, string interval explanation, reading
fingering notation, 8 alternate tunings with musical context,
custom instrument examples (banjo, mandolin)
- Playback: waveform physics (harmonics, Fourier), temperament
listening guide
- Quickstart: updated feature list (6 systems, 40+ scales, 144 chords)
- Fix duplicate logo/title in sidebar
