So tom spacing, track names and ghost notes ALL need the editor, not an import.

(2) The automatic transcription r7115188 carries exactly 32 ghost detections at known positions, extracted to s412162/audit/ghost-letring-audit.json with bar, voice, slot, lane, staff position: bars 4(5), 13(6), 15(5), 40(4), 41(4), 42(4), 43(4).

NOT ESTABLISHED, do not ship a verdict without it: whether Bedard or Ryan Brown show parenthesised noteheads at the specific 32 positions. Bedard's handwriting at 5x resolves the apparent parentheses into stems and beam strokes; a higher-resolution scan or a different source is needed. Brandon's rule stands: parentheses in a real transcription ARE genuine audio ghosts, so the verdict must come from a readable source. MY TWO ERRORS THIS PASS: I generalised an all-32-false verdict from one bar of one chart, and I printed ASSERTION PASSED on a PyGuitarPro round trip that contained 0 notes and 0 measures, a vacuous gate.

I WAS WRONG: I read Drumnet bar 4, saw no brackets, and generalised an all-32-false verdict across seven bars. Brandon corrected it and I verified at 30x: Drumnet p1 DOES print parenthesised snare noteheads, clearly visible in the repeated figure of its bars 6-8 as thin curved arcs flanking the filled noteheads, distinct from the thick straight stems. He also identifies them in its bar 5 after the open hi-hat. Those are genuine soft ghost strokes and must be PRESERVED. POLICY CHANGE FROM BRANDON: do NOT delete notes for missing transients, quiet strokes can be masked in a recording. BLOCKER, THE REAL ONE: Drumnet bar numbers do not map to tab bar numbers past bar 5. Tab meters read 3/4 10/16 2/4 5/4 then FOUR bars of 15/16; Drumnet reads 3/4 10/16 2/4 5/4 then ONE 15/16 then 4/4.

SECOND CORRECTION: my claim that Drumnet has only ONE 15/16 bar was wrong. I misread the courtesy 4/4 at the right edge of system 3 as bar 6's meter. Drumnet system 2 ends at bar 5; bars 6,7,8 inherit 15/16; 4/4 starts at bar 9. Tab and Drumnet bar numbers DO align, which matches Ryan Brown's 15/16 x4. THE MAPPING: tab bars 5-8 are four repeats of one figure with HH open at slot 4 and a snare pair at slots 6 and 7. Brandon located the ghosts as 'measure five immediately after the open hi-hat strike' and 'the repeated figures across measures six through eight'. That is exactly slots 6 and 7 in bars 5,6,7,8, and it matches the two adjacent parenthesised noteheads verified at 30x in the Drumnet crop.

It ignores every other effect child. When I moved the 99 Low Tom notes from lane 45 to lane 43, they all mapped onto Note 788, which carries 1. So 99 notes gained an articulation marking they never had, and the live data shows VeryLowTom staccato going 2 -> 101 while LowTom went 2 -> 0. THE RULE, same family as the String collision bug: a lane merge must map each source note onto a target with an IDENTICAL EFFECT SET, not just the same String and tie role. Effect children seen on drum notes in this file: Accent, AntiAccent, Tie. FIX NEEDED in kickfix_generic.py: build the match key from (String, tie role, sorted list of effect child tags and values) and create a new Note when no exact match exists, exactly as apply_ghosts.py now does.

Both correct at their own scope, always carry the scope. DISK CHECK measured this pass: the Vai Frank Zappa Guitar Book is NOT on this MacBook (only the Over-Nite Sensation book is, in the guitar-books tree), and Todd Bishop's Packard Goose chart is NOT here either (cruiseshipdrummer holds Apostrophe, Yellow Snow, Dancin Fool, Rubber Shirt, Flower Punk, Beautiful Guy, Central Scrutinizer, Beat It With Your Fist). So Watermelon-vs-Vai, Montana-vs-Percunerds and Packard-Goose-vs-Vai+Bishop are ALL BLOCKED on acquisition. ACTIONABLE NOW with sources already here: Black Page (the-black-page-drum-solo.htm plus drum-solo3.jpg), Drowning Witch (Brown Drowning-Witch.png plus GrooveAnalysis), Zomby Woof (27 assets, 5 publishers), Inca Roads (Wall thesis pp98-132).

Todd Bishop's Vinnie Colaiuta transcription of the Packard Goose guitar solo is a FREE blog post at cruiseshipdrummer.com (also mirrored at shipdrummer.blogspot.com, both HTTP 200) and its PDF answers HTTP 200 application/pdf 85,768 bytes at pdxdrummer.com/downloads/lessons_downloads/transcriptions/pdxdrummer.com_transcription_Packard-Goose_guitar-solo_Vinnie-Colaiuta.pdf. That is the SAME channel four PDFs already in the corpus came from (Apostrophe, Yellow Snow, Dancin Fool, Beat It With Your Fist). Only the Vai half still needs the book. NOT DOWNLOADED, HEAD request only, needs Brandon's go. (2) WATERMELON IS PARTIALLY OPEN. An ALFRED MUSIC drum transcription of Watermelon In Easter Hay exists credited to Vinnie Colaiuta at 4/4 and 112 BPM, so the Vai Guitar Book is not the only route; Drumnet p1-p5 already on disk can carry a first pass today. (3) MONTANA IS NARROWED, NOT SHUT. Percunerds $7.99 is one route; OpenSheets lists a FREE Montana carrying a drum-kit part, UNVERIFIED whether that is a real transcription or an auto-generated arrangement. Check before spending. THE ONLY GENUINELY ABSENT ITEM is the 1982 Vai Frank Zappa Guitar Book, no free copy found; it alone unlocks the Watermelon and Packard Goose Vai comparisons and the Black Napkins drum-authority inspection.

WHAT IS ESTABLISHED: Wall, Ben (2011) 'Inca Roads - The Musical Worlds of Frank Zappa', Masters thesis, University of Huddersfield, 132pp, sits at ~/Projects/_outputs/zappa-drum-sources/10-academic/BarryWall_The-Musical-Worlds-of-Frank-Zappa_thesis.pdf (FILENAME IS WRONG, author is Ben Wall not Barry). Appendix C = pp98-132 = full study score. p98 instrumentation: Lead Vocals, Backing Vocals, Flute, Marimba, Vibraphone, Rhodes Piano, Synth 1, Synth 2, Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, Timpani, Percussion, DRUM KIT. Marked 'Transcribed by Benjamin Wall', quarter=120 approx, section A. ONLY the improvised guitar and keyboard solos were omitted (p6), so drums are present throughout. RED ZONE IS BAR 29 at the head of section [C], first polyrhythm in the piece, 7 against 6: Zappa conducts steady 4/4 across the whole section as marked on the score; first half of the bar drums play SEPTUPLETS against bass SEXTUPLETS; beat 3 drops to unison semiquavers; beat 4 drums play a QUINTUPLET against marimba SEXTUPLETS. Wall lays it out as a Time Unit Box System in figure 5, p52. Figure 4 on p50 shows bars 27-29 with Ld Vox / Bk Vox / Mar / E.Gtr / Bass / Drums staves. TAB SIDE: s412178, live revision 8769026, image hash v0-3-2-gW4-gi3eBjwejXHt, aiGenerated false at tab level, TWELVE tracks with TWO drum staves, track 10 named 'AI' and track 11 named 'Chester Thompson', both instrumentId 1024. ANY COMPARISON MUST SAY WHICH DRUM STAFF IT JUDGES. WHAT REMAINS: (1) render Wall pp98-132 to images and locate bar 29 on the page; (2) pull both Songsterr drum part JSONs and extract bar 29; (3) compare using RATIONAL BEAT POSITIONS per feedback_rhythm_red_zone_no_auto_repair, never a sixteenth grid, since 6/7 positions will read as displaced otherwise; (4) adjudicate the 165 removed ghosts (134 snare, 31 other) against the score under the 9-status model, DIRECT CHART MATCH being the only status that permits a restore.

Zappa tom spacing on THREE OTHER TABS: Nanook Suite s35878 (Low Tom x282, Low Floor Tom x46), Nanook Rubs It s35865 (x53, x8), Inca Roads s412178 track 10 AI (x62, x5). Both toms land on the SAME staff line A4 because Songsterr's default kit gives MIDI 45 and MIDI 41 the same StaffLine. Editing StaffLine in the .gp does NOT survive import, so the only fix moves notes to a different tom articulation, which CHANGES THE DRUM THAT SOUNDS. NEEDS BRANDON'S CALL on that trade before touching anyone else's tab. This was originally q-2026-09-05-a628e4. I closed it while fixing an UNRELATED tom defect on Zomby Woof s412162 (a missing Low Tom step in the descending runs at bars 5 and 16, fixed in rev6b-Zomby-Woof-TOMSTEP-RESTORED.gp). The REV5-BUILD note had cited a628e4 for the Zomby issue, which was a mislabel. These three songs are untouched and still need the decision.
