Thanks @amosbastian! I have CRPS (severe nerve damage) in my hands and I suffered another major injury a couple months ago, so I was completely out of it for a while. I still don't really have the use of my hands, but I'm slowly working my way back into being productive and it feels good. Unfortunately I'm still stuck using voice recognition on my computer for everything, so the going is very slow compared to what I would be accomplishing otherwise.

• Sorry, I didn't realize how strung out the commit was getting (I accomplish so little in a day, I feel like I'm stuck in a time warp), but all of what I outlined here was actually done more recently than 14 days. I'll try to be more careful in the future.
• A linter huh… You mean the thing that VS Code is always trying to get me to install but I keep telling it to go to hell because the one I had for Python was constantly annoying me with pop-ups that got in the way of what I was doing? :) Ha ha, I've been avoiding them like the plague, but I suppose I wasn't even entirely sure what they were for, admittedly. Perhaps I can look into it again. Is there anything in particular you were seeing?
• gives a tip of the hat

Always closer, but I'll never be satisfied. But I do hope to be getting to a point soon where all of the fundamental, functional aspects of the system are in place and I can move on to focusing more heavily on the AI aspect. Getting it smarter about identifying rhythm/aberrations in rhythm and beyond that, larger patterns of all kinds (e.g. repeated riffs, the scale, choruses etc.). Then there's always my grand schemes of turning it into an entire rhythm game, as I outlined once in a blog post. Then eventually bringing it to mobile platforms… The list goes on. This thing is basically my life's work. I won't be done with it until I'm dead, or possibly until I've used it to transform myself into some sort of virtual songwriting incarnation, perpetually churning out a Pandora's music box of more and more enthralling auditory patterns…
