Allow for stored riffs and chord progressions #13

Closed cknadler closed 11 years ago

Marktab should allow for stored progressions / riffs. For example:

OpenG: (6:3 5:2 4:0 3:0 2:2 1:2)
BridgeRiff: [1:2 / 1:5 b 1:7 1:7 \ 1:2 r OpenG OpenG r]

(1:5 2:5) BridgeRiff 1:5

They should operate much like chords currently do. This means that they will work with the xTimes modifier. So BridgeRiff x3 will ouput the bridge riff three times.

Also, the [ ] syntax gives the added benefit of being able to enclose any riff / progression inline and multiply it. For example:

OpenG: (6:3 5:2 4:0 3:0 2:2 1:2)
OpenC: (5:3 4:2 3:0 2:1 1:0)
OpenEm: (6:0 5:2 4:2 3:0 2:0 1:0)
BridgeRiff: [5:3 4:0 4:2 3:0 2:0]

OpenEm [OpenG BridgeRiff] x4 OpenG OpenC

Nice, yeah that definitely makes more sense.

This is in the grammar now and the syntax is ironed out. Closing.
