-## CPU Load Visualization
+Or with auto-load: `index.html?seq=../../workspaces/main/timeline.seq&wav=audio.wav`
 
-The editor displays a **CPU load bar** at the top (underneath audio waveform if loaded):
-- **Full-height bars** (80px) show effect density at each time point
-- **Color-coded:** Green (low) → Yellow (medium) → Red (high load)
-- **Load calculation:** Sum of all active effects across all sequences (1.0 per effect)
-- **Updates automatically** when effects/sequences are moved
-- **Collapsed sequences count** toward load
+## Features
 
-This helps identify performance hotspots in your timeline.
+**Editing:**

 ```
 # BPM 120
-SEQUENCE <start_time> <priority> ["optional_name"]
-  NODE <name> <type>                 # Optional explicit node declarations
-  EFFECT <+|=|-> <ClassName> <inputs...> -> <outputs...> <start> <end> [params...]
+SEQUENCE <start_time> <priority> ["name"]
+  NODE <name> <type>                  # Optional: u8x4_norm|f32x4|f16x8|depth24|compute_f32
+  EFFECT <+|=|-> <Class> <in...> -> <out...> <start> <end> [params]
 ```
 
-**Node Types:**
-- `u8x4_norm` - RGBA8 standard texture (default framebuffer format)
-- `f32x4` - RGBA float32 texture (HDR rendering)
-- `f16x8` - 8-channel float16 (G-buffer for hybrid 3D)
-- `depth24` - Depth buffer (3D rendering)
-- `compute_f32` - Storage buffer (compute shaders)
-
-**Reserved Nodes:**
-- `source` - Input framebuffer (implicit, always available)
-- `sink` - Output framebuffer (implicit, always available)
-
-**Priority Modifiers:**
-- `+` = Increment priority (normal effects)
-- `=` = Keep same priority as previous
-- `-` = Decrement priority (background layers)
+**Reserved nodes:** `source` (input), `sink` (output)
+**Priority:** `+` increment, `=` same, `-` decrement
+**Time:** Beats by default, `4b` explicit beats, `2.0s` seconds
 
-**Time Notation (Beat-Based):**
-- **Default:** All numbers are beats (e.g., `4`, `16.5` = beats)
-- `4b`, `16b` = Explicit beats (optional 'b' suffix for clarity)
-- `2.0s`, `8.25s` = Explicit seconds (rare, for physical timing)
-
-**Example (V2 Format with NODE declarations):**
+**Example:**
 ```
-# BPM 120
-SEQUENCE 0.0 0 "Opening Scene"
-  NODE temp1 u8x4_norm               # Declare intermediate buffer
-  NODE depth depth24                  # Declare depth buffer
+SEQUENCE 0.0 0 "Scene"
+  NODE temp1 u8x4_norm
+  NODE depth depth24
   EFFECT + Hybrid3D source depth -> temp1 0.0 4.0
-  EFFECT + GaussianBlur temp1 -> sink 0.0 4.0
-
-SEQUENCE 4.0 0 "Beat Drop"
-  NODE glow f32x4                     # HDR buffer for glow
-  EFFECT + Heptagon source -> glow 0.0 4.0
-  EFFECT + Bloom glow -> sink 0.0 4.0
+  EFFECT + Blur temp1 -> sink 0.0 4.0
 ```
 
-**Example (V2 Format with auto-inferred nodes):**
+**Auto-inferred nodes** (no NODE declarations needed):
 ```
-# BPM 120
-SEQUENCE 0.0 0 "Simple Chain"
-  # No NODE declarations - temp1 is auto-inferred
-  EFFECT + Blur source -> temp1 0.0 4.0
+SEQUENCE 0.0 0
+  EFFECT + Blur source -> temp1 0.0 4.0    # temp1 auto-inferred
   EFFECT + Flash temp1 -> sink 0.0 4.0
 ```
 
-**Buffer Chain Visualization:**
-
-The editor displays buffer routing for each effect:
-- Property panel: `source, depth → [Hybrid3D] → temp1`
-- Effect tooltip: Shows full buffer chain on hover
-
-## URL Parameters
-
-Auto-load files on page load:
-```
-index.html?seq=../../workspaces/main/timeline.seq&wav=../../audio/track.wav
-```
-
-**Parameters:**
-- `seq` - Path to `.seq` file (relative or absolute URL)
-- `wav` - Path to `.wav` audio file (relative or absolute URL)
-
-**Example:**
-```bash
-open "tools/timeline_editor/index.html?seq=../../workspaces/main/timeline.seq"
-```
-
-## Keyboard Shortcuts
-
-- **Spacebar**: Play/pause audio playback
-- **0-6**: Quantize grid (0=Off, 1=1beat, 2=1/2, 3=1/4, 4=1/8, 5=1/16, 6=1/32)
-- **Double-click timeline**: Seek to position (continues playing if active)
-- **Double-click sequence**: Collapse/expand
-- **Ctrl/Cmd + Wheel**: Zoom in/out at cursor position
+## Architecture
 
-## Technical Notes
+- `index.html` - Main editor (1200+ lines)
+- `timeline-format.js` - V2 parser/serializer/validator
+- `timeline-viewport.js` - Zoom/scroll control
+- `timeline-playback.js` - Audio playback
 
-- Modular ES6 structure (requires HTTP server, not file://)
-  - `index.html` - Main editor and rendering
-  - `timeline-format.js` - V2 format parsing/serialization/validation
-  - `timeline-viewport.js` - Zoom/scroll/indicator control
-  - `timeline-playback.js` - Audio playback and waveform
-- No external dependencies
-- **Internal representation uses beats** (not seconds)
-- Sequences have absolute times (beats), effects are relative to parent sequence
-- BPM used for seconds conversion (tooltips, audio waveform alignment)
-- Priority determines render order (higher = on top)
-- Collapsed sequences show 35px title bar, expanded show full effect stack
-- **Show Beats** toggle: Switch time markers between beats and seconds
-- Time markers show 4-beat/bar increments (beats) or 1s increments (seconds)
-- **Waveform and time markers are sticky** at top during scroll/zoom
-- Vertical grid lines aid alignment
-- **Quantize grid**: Independent snap control (works in both beat and second display modes)
-- **Auto-expand/collapse**: Active sequence expands during playback, previous collapses
-- **Auto-scroll**: Timeline follows playback indicator (keeps it in middle third of viewport)
-- **Dual playback indicators**: Red bars on both timeline and waveform (synchronized)
-- **Seamless seek**: Double-click or waveform click seeks without stopping playback
-- **Node validation**: Only runs when explicit NODE declarations exist (auto-inferred nodes bypass validation)
+Pure ES6 modules, no dependencies, requires HTTP server (not file://).

-**Goal:** Enable precise musical timing by snapping items to beat boundaries.
-
-**Features:**
-- Parse BPM from demo.seq file (`# BPM 120`)
-- Calculate beat grid based on BPM (e.g., 120 BPM = 0.5s per beat)
-- Visual beat markers on timeline (lighter gray lines between second markers)
-- Toggle snap mode (keyboard shortcut: `S` key)
-- When dragging, snap position to nearest beat
-- Status indicator showing current snap mode and BPM
-
-**Implementation Details:**
-```javascript
-// Calculate beat positions
-const beatsPerSecond = bpm / 60.0;
-const secondsPerBeat = 60.0 / bpm;
-
-// Snap function
-function snapToBeat(timeInSeconds) {
-    if (!snapEnabled) return timeInSeconds;
-    const beatIndex = Math.round(timeInSeconds * beatsPerSecond);
-    return beatIndex * secondsPerBeat;
-}
-
-// Visual beat markers
-for (let beat = 0; beat < maxBeats; beat++) {
-    const beatTime = beat * secondsPerBeat;
-    // Render subtle vertical line at beatTime
-}
-```
-
-**UI Additions:**
-- Checkbox: "☑️ Snap to Beat (S)" in zoom controls
-- Display: "BPM: 120 | Beat: 0.5s" in status bar

-}
-```
-
-**UI Additions:**
-- Button: "➕ Add Effect to Sequence" (appears when sequence selected)
-- Modal dialog with form
-- Context menu on right-click
-- Keyboard shortcut: `E` key when sequence selected
-
-**Effort:** 6-8 hours

-    `;
-}
-
-// Recalculate effect priorities after modifier change
-function recalculatePriorities(sequence) {
-    let currentPriority = -1;
-    for (const effect of sequence.effects) {
-        if (effect.priorityModifier === '+') currentPriority++;
-        else if (effect.priorityModifier === '-') currentPriority--;
-        // '=' keeps current priority
-        effect.priority = currentPriority;
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**Visual Priority Indicators (CSS):**
-```css
-/* Sequence priority colors */
-.sequence[data-priority="0"] { border-color: #264f78; } /* Dark blue */
-.sequence[data-priority="1"] { border-color: #0e639c; } /* Medium blue */
-.sequence[data-priority="2"] { border-color: #1177bb; } /* Light blue */
-
-/* Effect priority badge */
-.effect::before {
-    content: "[" attr(data-priority) "]";
-    position: absolute;
-    top: 2px;
-    left: 2px;
-    font-size: 10px;
-    background: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
-    padding: 2px 4px;
-    border-radius: 2px;
-}
-
-/* Background effects (negative priority) */
-.effect[data-priority^="-"] {
-    opacity: 0.7;
-    background: #2d2d30;
-}
-```
-
-**Validation:**
-- Warn if sequence priorities conflict (same time + same priority)
-- Show warning if effect priority order doesn't match visual stacking
-- Suggest reordering effects if priority sequence is non-contiguous
-
-**Effort:** 6-8 hours
-**Priority:** HIGH (essential for proper z-order control)
-**Dependencies:** None
-**Impact:** Enables precise control over render order
-
----
-
-### 1.3 Overlap Detection & Warnings ⭐ Priority: MEDIUM
-**Goal:** Visualize and warn about timeline conflicts.
-
-**Features:**
-- Detect sequence overlaps (same priority, overlapping time ranges)
-- Detect effect overlaps within same sequence
-- Visual indicators:
-  - Red border around overlapping items
-  - Warning icon (⚠️) on overlapping items
-  - Tooltip explaining conflict
-- Warnings panel listing all conflicts
-- Filter timeline to show only conflicts
-
-**Detection Logic:**

-**Features:**
-- `Ctrl+C` to copy selected item(s)
-- `Ctrl+V` to paste at current time
-- `Ctrl+D` to duplicate in place
-- Paste adjusts timing to avoid overlaps (optional)
-
-**Effort:** 6-8 hours
-**Priority:** MEDIUM
-
----
-
-### 2.4 Keyboard Shortcuts & Navigation
-**Goal:** Power users can work without mouse.
-
-**Shortcuts:**

----
-
-### 2.5 Music.track Visualization & Overlay
-**Goal:** Display tracker patterns and samples alongside timeline for precise alignment.
-
-**Features:**
-- Load `music.track` file (parse tracker score format)
-- Render tracker patterns as horizontal bars above/below sequences
-- Display sample triggers (kick, snare, bass notes) as vertical markers
-- Color-code different sample types (drums, bass, melody)
-- Show pattern names and beat divisions
-- Toggle visibility (checkbox: "Show Tracker Score")
-- Sync horizontal scale with timeline (pixels per second)
-- Help users align visual sequences with audio events
-
-**Implementation Details:**
-```javascript
-// Parse music.track file format (similar to demo.seq parser)
-function parseTrackerScore(content) {
-    // Extract patterns, events, sample triggers
-    // Return structured data: { patterns: [...], events: [...] }
-}
-
-// Render tracker overlay on canvas or DOM elements
-function renderTrackerOverlay() {
-    // Draw pattern bars
-    // Draw sample trigger markers (vertical lines)
-    // Label with sample names (KICK_1, BASS_E2, etc.)
-}
-```
-
-**Visual Design:**
-- Tracker patterns: Semi-transparent colored bars (green/yellow/purple)
-- Sample triggers: Thin vertical lines with labels
-- Pattern names: Small text above bars
-- Positioned above waveform, below time markers
-
-**Use Case:**
-- Load `music.track` to see exactly where drums/bass/melody trigger
-- Align visual effect sequences with musical events
-- Verify timing matches tracker score before testing in demo
-
-**Effort:** 12-15 hours
-**Priority:** MEDIUM
-**Dependencies:** Requires `music.track` file format specification
-

-**Phase 2 (Productivity):** 38-51 hours
-**Phase 3 (Advanced):** 51-74 hours
-
-**Total:** ~117-161 hours for full feature set
-
----
-
-## Development Approach
-
-**Incremental Rollout:**
-- Each feature should be a separate commit
-- Keep the single-file HTML structure for simplicity
-- Add features in priority order
-- Test with real demo.seq files after each feature
-
-**Code Organization (when file gets too large):**
-- Consider splitting into:
-  - `index.html` (UI structure + styles)
-  - `editor.js` (main logic)
-  - `parser.js` (seq file parsing)
-  - `timeline.js` (rendering)
-  - `commands.js` (undo/redo system)
-
-**Testing Strategy:**
-- Manual testing with assets/demo.seq
-- Test edge cases: empty files, single sequence, many overlaps
-- Browser compatibility: Chrome, Firefox, Safari
-- No automated tests (keep it simple for now)

 ## Design Principles
 
-1. **Keep it simple:** Avoid over-engineering
-2. **No dependencies:** Stay pure HTML/JS/CSS
-3. **Instant feedback:** All operations should feel immediate
-4. **Visual clarity:** Color-coding, icons, clear labels
-5. **Forgiving UX:** Undo/redo, non-destructive operations
-6. **Offline-first:** No network required
-
----
-
-## Questions for Future Consideration
-
-1. **Effect Class Validation:**
-   - Should we validate effect class names against known effects?
-   - Source of truth: Parse C++ code? Hardcoded list? User-maintained?
-
-2. **Priority System:**
-   - Current system uses integers (-1, 0, 1, 2...)
-   - Should we add named priority levels? (Background, Normal, Foreground, Top)
-
-3. **BPM Changes:**
-   - What if BPM changes mid-timeline?
-   - Support for tempo changes?
-
-4. **Collaboration:**
-   - Should multiple people be able to edit the same timeline?
-   - Real-time collaboration? (probably overkill)
-
-5. **Preview Integration:**
-   - Should we ever integrate visual preview?
-   - Current answer: NO (out of scope, would require WebAssembly + full engine)

-## Success Metrics
-
-**v1.0 (Current):** ✅ Basic editing works
-**v1.1 (Phase 1):** Snap-to-beat + effect creation = productive editing
-**v2.0 (Phase 2):** Undo/redo + multi-select = professional tool
-**v3.0 (Phase 3):** Advanced features = power user delight
-
-**Goal:** Make timeline editing 10x faster than manual text editing.
