DESCRIPTION
    This is a type constraint library intended to be useful for those
    developing music software using the MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital
    Interface) specification.

    It is a work in progress driven by real-world usage, and as such does
    not yet necessarily have a stable interface. Once it reaches version
    1.0, though, the author does not intend to introduce any breaking
    changes without a corresponding increase in the major version number.

OVERVIEW
    Because this leverages Type::Library, it should be usable in a variety
    of Perl object systems, including Moo and Moose. By default, it exports
    nothing into the consumer's namespace; however, in addition to
    specifying individual functions in the "use" in perlfunc statement, you
    can also provide or combine the following tags to export groups of
    functions:

    "use Types::MIDI qw(:types);"
        Exports all types by name into the namespace.

    "use Types::MIDI qw(:is);"
        Exports all "is_"*TypeName* functions into the namespace.

    "use Types::MIDI qw(:assert);"
        Exports all "assert_"*TypeName* functions into the namespace.

    "use Types::MIDI qw(:to);"
        Exports all "to_"*TypeName* functions into the namespace.

    "use Types::MIDI qw(+"*TypeName*");"
        Exports *TypeName* and all related functions into the namespace.

    "use Types::MIDI qw(:all);"
        Exports everything.

    This library also inherits from Exporter::Tiny; consult
    Exporter::Tiny::Manual::Importing for ways to customize how functions
    are imported, such as renaming or omitting certain names.

    Also note that the tags listed above may be preceded with a "-" (hyphen)
    instead of a ":" (colon); Perl's auto-quoting of barewords thus enables
    you to import a tag group of functions like so:

        use Types::MIDI -all;

TYPES
  Channel
    An integer from 0 to 15 corresponding to a MIDI Channel.

  Velocity
    An integer from 0 to 127 corresponding to a MIDI velocity.

  Note
    An integer from 0 to 127 corresponding to a MIDI note number.

  PercussionNote
    A "Note" from 27 through 87, corresponding to a "Note" number in the
    General MIDI 2 Percussion Sound Set.

    This type can also coerce case-insensitive "NonEmptySimpleStr" in
    Types::Common::Strings of instrument names in the General MIDI 2
    Percussion Sound Set, returning the corresponding "Note".

FUNCTIONS
  is_Channel
    Returns true if the passed value can be used as a "Channel".

  assert_Channel
    Returns the passed value if and only if it can be used as a "Channel";
    otherwise it throws an exception.

  is_Velocity
    Returns true if the passed value can be used as a "Velocity".

  assert_Velocity
    Returns the passed value if and only if it can be used as a "Velocity";
    otherwise it throws an exception.

  is_Note
    Returns true if the passed value can be used as a "Note".

  assert_Note
    Returns the passed value if and only if it can be used as a "Note";
    otherwise it throws an exception.

  is_PercussionNote
    Returns true if the passed value can be used as a "PercussionNote".

  assert_PercussionNote
    Returns the passed value if and only if it can be used as a
    "PercussionNote"; otherwise it throws an exception.

  to_PercussionNote
    Coerces the passed value to a "PercussionNote".
