-- belongs somewhere that reviews it, remembers why it changed, and can put it
-- back. On a wiki page it had none of those.
--
--
-- Each track records one subobject per player, because a subobject holds a set
-- So change it there, not here. An edit to this page would be overridden by
-- of values and not a set of pairs -- "Harry Clark" and "mandolin" have to sit
-- nothing and reviewed by nobody -- it would simply take effect, across
-- in the same subobject to stay attached to each other. One per player per
-- thirty-six pages, which is the problem.
-- track is what keeps that true.

-- Note for future editors: do not wrap this header in a --[==[ ]==] block
-- The model it implements is documented at PickiPedia:Compositions: a

-- composition is a page in Song:, a cut is one recording of it by one lineup
