| 1 | """muse retrograde — reverse the note order of a MIDI track. |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Plays the melody backward: the last note becomes the first. A classical |
| 4 | transformation used in canon, fugue, and serial music. Agents composing |
| 5 | palindromic or mirror structures can apply this automatically. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Usage:: |
| 8 | |
| 9 | muse retrograde tracks/melody.mid |
| 10 | muse retrograde tracks/melody.mid --dry-run |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Output:: |
| 13 | |
| 14 | ✅ Retrograded tracks/melody.mid |
| 15 | 23 notes reversed (C4 → was last, now first) |
| 16 | Duration preserved · original span: 8.0 beats |
| 17 | Run `muse status` to review, then `muse commit` |
