		Codebeat is a javascript library that provides a simple language for music composition.

		## Note duration
		A note's duration is the relative amount of time it is played, known as a subdivision.
		The names of common subdivisions are abbreviated as follows:

		## Note pitch
		A note's pitch is the name for its frequency in Hertz. D in the 5th octave is written as `d5`. Similarly, G-flat in the 3rd octave is `g_3`, and C-sharp in the 6th octave is `c#6`. A pitch can be between `a0` and `g#7`, inclusive.
		## Note names
		A note's name is mapped to its frequency in hertz. D in the 5th octave is written as `d5`. Similarly, G-flat in the 3rd octave is `g_3`, and C-sharp in the 6th octave is `c#6`. A note may be between `a0` and `g#7`, inclusive.

		## Basic notation
		General format: `[note_duration][space][note_pitch][comma]`
		In practice: `h d5, q g_3, q c#6` etc.

		_Note: any amount of tabs, newlines, or whitespace can appear after the comma, but not between the duration and pitch_
		### General format
		`h d5, q g_3, q c#6`
		`[duration][space][note][comma]`

		## Repetition
		To simplify the writing process, groups of notes may be assigned to variables (separated with a semicolon) and repeated notes may be multiplied by an integer value.
		_Note:_ Any amount of tabs, newlines, or whitespace can appear after the comma, but one space must appear between the duration and pitch.

		### Repetition
		To simplify the writing process, groups of notes may be assigned to variables (separated by semicolons).

		## Chords
		To play multiple notes simultaneously, Codebeat provides the `+` operator. Doing so produces a chord constituted of the pitches provided for the specified duration. The notes within a chord must be played for the same duration.

		## Slides
		Like physical instruments, Codebeat can alter the pitch of a note over time until it reaches a second pitch. This is done with the `-` operator. Both notes are independent of each other, which means they may be any of the allowed durations and pitches.
		### Slides
		A note may be gradually altered over time until it reaches a new pitch. This is achieved with the `-` operator.

		However, slides cannot be chained as in the below example.
		To chain slides, use the `z` duration for the destination note:

		~~~
		h e2 - z c3 - e f4 - h d3
		h e2 - z c3, h c3 - z f4, e f4 - z d3
		~~~

		This ensures that the entire duration of the slide is dictated by the duration of the source note.
