Sleeping Terror (bash/SoX arrange)
4Composed by ZUN for Touhou 4: Lotus Land Story
Arranged by me
An arrange of Yuuka's first boss theme in Sound eXchange, programmed in shell script.

As you can see from the code, I refactor almost all of it. I was able to find a way to use sox pipes for the whole piece while still making it easy to input the notes and their durations. It's not perfect though; first you can't easily reuse parts (which is why you see "repeat" comments mid way, copy-paste is the only solution, which sucks), second it takes a very LONG time for sox to load all of those pipes (which is why it doesn't loop back smoothly, which again sucks). I can't use echo for each note either, but I've found a workaround for that. But all those cons are outweighed by the huge pro that I can basically play pieces as fast as Sleeping Terror now!
Anyway, special thanks to TrojanHorse711 for their VRC6 arrange of Yuuka's theme (which you can listen to at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHJxe_iERwM)! The tracker file made it a lot easier for me to input the notes. Thanks to BillyWar as well for their sheet music in MuseScore format at https://musescore.com/user/9128086/scores/5093131, I was able to use the correct BPM for the intro, as well as see which ones are clearly dotted notes.

(Yes, this is sort of a reupload of Sleeping Terror. I fixed the loop thing, which I could've easily done in the first place by not emptying the notes array and resetting the soxpipes variable when looping back...)
