Step 2/3 - Generate Drumputer Script
How do you want to interpret staff lines for the Drumputer?
This assumes you're writing tenor or bass parts and top bass (voice A) is space 1 (not top space)
(This fits Drumputer defaults better)
This assumes top space (on top of staff) is voice A and B,C,D,E,F follow as you go down.
(better if you intend to change the default voicing in the script below)
