get_song

Read a song in full: metadata, section list, per-bar structure (time signature, grid resolution, repeats), and the complete ASCII tab, plus share_url: a link that carries the whole song (open it anywhere to get a copy). Strings are numbered 1 (top, highest pitch) to N (bottom, lowest). Cell tokens: fret numbers 0-24; "m0"/"m3" palm-muted chug on that fret; "x" unpitched dead chug; "*" one repick of the preceding note on this slot — repeat "*" cells on a 16th grid for 16th-note tremolo picking (works after m-notes and x too); "=" hold the previous note out (a picked note rings about 1 s on its own, then fades — write "=" in every slot it should keep sounding beyond that); "~" vibrato on the preceding note (also holds); "/7" slide up into fret 7; "\7" slide down into fret 7; "h7" hammer-on to 7, "p5" pull-off to 5, "t12" tap 12 (legato, no pick attack); "^7" pinch harmonic on fret 7 (picked squeal: the overtone over a quiet fundamental); "b" bends the preceding note up a step, "r" releases it back; "-" empty. Chug riff example: "m0 m0 m0 3 m0 m0 5 =". Tremolo example: "0 * * *".
