The music generator in the retreat is a band anyone can play

The music generator, the squat black box with a ring of lights in the retreat off Trojanovich plaza, now plays a full band: drums, bass, piano, lead and a warm pad. Anyone in the room can use it, and you hear it in the web client.
play generator and stop generator turn it on and off. songs generator lists what it can play, and tune generator to <song> picks one; the start of the name is enough. jam generator has the band make up its own songs one after another, and you can steer it: jam generator to something moody in D dorian, or jam generator to fast funky bossa at 100. Naming an instrument, as in jam generator to ambient piano, plays only that part.
While it plays: tempo generator to 120 (40 to 240, or faster, slower, or song for the song's own tempo), swing generator to on (off, light, on or heavy), mute drums on generator and unmute all on generator. sheet generator shows the song's chords, melody and words and the last few bars as played. look generator shows where it is in the song and lists these commands.
If a fight starts in the room while it plays, the band switches to battle music that grows more intense as more people join in, and goes back to the earlier song when the fight ends. A song with an ending now stops after its last bar; background pieces loop.
