From b2554e50964a101991a1c9d89f10709f6d86d0fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "prompt.ac/@jeffrey" Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 17:47:16 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] lonerremix.c's abandoned five-pass arrangement, landed rather than left dangling MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This is the "opens wide" experiment that has sat uncommitted in the working tree for days: five passes with the full band up front, a clap pass, a floorless break, a drop to the widest point and a ghost pass, plus the rotation and trims from the stash. It does NOT render v4pid — that record is built from the sacred v4 audio by bin/v4pid/run.sh, and a fresh render from this file produces something else entirely. Committing it so the divergence is recorded in history instead of living as a dirty file nobody dares touch. texput.log updates with its latest LaTeX run. --- pop/loner/c/lonerremix.c | 208 +++++++++++++++++---------------------- texput.log | 40 +++----- 2 files changed, 108 insertions(+), 140 deletions(-) diff --git a/pop/loner/c/lonerremix.c b/pop/loner/c/lonerremix.c index e9edcf261..300b563ee 100644 --- a/pop/loner/c/lonerremix.c +++ b/pop/loner/c/lonerremix.c @@ -70,7 +70,7 @@ static const double TONIC = CHART_TONIC; // 237 Hz — Camille's frame // it is the right answer for this song: three minutes of one sentence does // not need announcing.
