A small step for a stepwise sequencer too? ;)

“Here is the partiture for the following video: 27.pdf. You'll find the 
MP3 bellow.”

Why did you use the Spanish word “partiture” instead of the English 
term/phrase “sheet music”?  I already knew “sheet music”, but had to 
search to discover “partiture” means “sheet music”.

Why did you film the screen instead of using a program to record the 
video, such as HyperCam DX on Windows?


“if N % 2 != 0: # even number”

Unless I am missing something, that condition is true for odd numbers, 
not even numbers.  I do not write in Python, but I assume that condition 
has the same meaning as in C?
