Aren't the notes adjacent enough on consecutive lines?

  2.0 note Cmaj7 ch=1 
  2.0 note D ch=1 
  2.0 note C dur=0.15 ch=2
  2.1 note C ch=2
  2.1 note Cmaj ch=1

Imagine there are four, eight, maybe dozens of voices being mixed together in a track. Could get unwieldly.

That's why I decided to allow arbitrary order within the file. In this way you can group notes by instruments and the parser will deal with reordering them.

I also plan to create a flag for the CLI tool that reorders the lines within the mtxt file in such way, that notes are grouped by instruments.
