What changed tonight

03 Gene now has the real solo. Its Lead Guitar was replaced with the isolated-stem transcription: 581 notes reaching B5 at fret 19, where the old one stopped at E5 on fret 12. Rhythm, Bass, Drums and Vocals were hash-checked as identical before the upload and verified identical after it. Revision 8334402.
All 10 tabs are backed up. Every track of every song is saved as Songsterr part JSON at _songsterr_live_backup_2026-08-07/. An import can now be undone, which was not true before tonight.
Five more upgrades are built and verified, waiting on one click. 04, 05, 02, 07 and 09 each have their guitar track rebuilt from the isolated-stem transcription. Every one passed two gates: a per-track hash diff proving only the guitar changed, and a bar-fill check proving every bar sums exactly to its time signature. The browser import step was blocked by a permission prompt, so the files sit ready in _AUDITION_2026-08-07/UPGRADED_GUITAR_ready_to_import/ and open in Guitar Pro now.
Two songs were deliberately left alone. 08 JGBFTL and 10 Trapped in Wonderland have better guitar live than the isolated-stem alternative. Swapping them would have made your tab worse, so I did not.
