Charted songs (in the style of Clone Hero) about sightread HOT 5 CLOSED

@hik4ru: i've been calling the ability to play a real song in the background a "backing track", and I've already implemented it! I tested it out with Clone Hero charts and it works well, although it is not particularly fun since GH style charts only use 5 notes.

You can check out the unreleased infinite "phrase generator" here.

The primary challenge to make songs with backing tracks work isn't technical. It's about the content.

1. Using pop music would require licensing, and I have no idea how to do that.
2. We could make our own tracks...but that requires making our own tracks 🙃

Wow, that's much more than what I expected already!

Of course, to release them would be a no-no because of licensing, unless... There's a public repo where everyone uploads their tracks on their GDrive folders à la Chorus (fightthe pw). 👀

Gotta be honest, I'm extremely grateful to you just for making this kind of Keyboard Hero. I have no issue in working on my own charts (I'm a CH charter already) and I feel like if I find the way to sync MIDIs (or even to make my own ones somehow, I'm a newbie in actual music stuff and never looked into it before) with MP3s, this has a huge chance to be my new hyperfocus for the next weeks. :P

Forget about pop tunes tho, classic VGM is what the world really needs
