// Here's a neat demo showing how to use a solo arpeggiate
// in an intro. This has been lifted from the song
//    Come Live Your Life With Me (The Godfather, 1972)

// Using some violins and an intro style from stdlib we
// get a cool tremolo string section effect.


Tempo 110
Keysig C minor

// The notes in the solo lines match the notes
// in the chords. We set up a multi-line macro
// to make it easier to duplicate the sequence
