Music Theory with Tonal

---

Rhythm offers a small collection of utility functions for describing rhythm. We adopt the same convention as Tonal.js for patterns. A pattern is a binary array (ones and zeros) where 1 represents a rhythmic event (a whack) and 0 represents a rest. Many of these functions are implemented by Tonal but collected here for convenience.
