20 WAV files covering quickstart, sequencing, drums, playback,
and cookbook examples. Audio players embedded after every code
block that calls play_score().

Load any Standard MIDI File into a Score. Zero-dependency parser
handles Type 0 and Type 1 files. Each channel becomes a Part,
channel 10 becomes drum hits. Roundtrip with save_midi works.

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.

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.

- 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

RST cannot nest inline markup — **`link <url>`_** renders the raw

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
