Closes #67

Additive (MINOR) 1.20.0 release: a drum_tab.json can now carry a rhythm-game drum chart's gameplay data — easier difficulties, star power, fills, solos, accents, and double kicks. No manifest key changes.

What changes, together per CONTRIBUTING:

  • Spec spec/feedpak-v1.md §7.5: hits[].a / hits[].x2 rows, a new "Drum gameplay metadata" subsection (star_power, fills, solos, levels, the range shape, the difficulty-level rules, the Expert/Expert+ x2 rule, per-part scope), the §4.1 version ledger, header version/date.
  • Schema schemas/drum-tab.schema.json: the new keys. hits[] items are factored into $defs/hit so levels.*.hits validate identically, plus a not clause rejecting a + g on one hit.
  • Example examples/extended.feedpak/drum_tab.json: exercises every new field (an accent, an x2 kick, all three range lists, an authored hard level and a generated easy level).
  • CHANGELOG [1.20.0] + version bump (README table/citation, §4.1, extended manifest).
  • Tests tests/test_validate.py: the accepted shape, an unknown level id (forward-compatible), and 7 rejected shapes (half a range, pair arrays, non-array, level without hits, level hit without p, accent + ghost, non-boolean x2).

Design notes

  • hits[] is always the hardest chart including the x2 kicks, so a Reader that knows nothing about x2 plays every note the drummer plays. Expert = drop x2.
  • Ranges reuse the {start_time, end_time} pair from arrangement phrases. Long names because this is one-off metadata, not hot-path data (§9.2).
  • The keys describe the chart; scoring stays the consumer's.

Implementation waiting on this: got-feedBack/feedBack feature/ISSUE-drum-chart-import (Rock Band / Clone Hero / YARG drum chart importer + exporter) writes exactly these keys.

Checks (local): tools/check_versions.py (1.20.0 consistent), tools/validate.py examples/minimal.feedpak examples/extended.feedpak (both PASS), pytest (72 passed), ruff check tools/ tests/ (clean), all schemas pass Draft202012Validator.check_schema, gen_docs.py + mkdocs build --strict (clean). I also validated a pack produced by the feedBack converter against this branch: PASS.

Signed-off-by is on the commit (DCO).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Drum charts can now include accented hits, second-pedal kicks, star power, fills, solos, and hit lists for easy, medium, and hard difficulties. Easy difficulty can be marked as generated.
    • Second-pedal kicks remain in the full chart and are omitted when deriving Expert difficulty from Expert+.
  • Compatibility
    • These additions are optional; packages valid under version 1.19.0 remain valid, and older readers can ignore the new metadata and play the full chart.
  • Documentation
    • Updated the specification and example package to version 1.20.0.

A drum chart imported from Rock Band / Clone Hero / YARG carries more
than hits: authored easier difficulties, star-power phrases, fills, solo
sections, accents, and the double-kick notes that split Expert from
Expert+. drum_tab had nowhere to put any of it, so importers either
dropped it or parked it in extension keys no other Reader understands.

Additive, optional, all inside drum_tab.json (no manifest key):
- hits[].a (authored accent; MUST NOT combine with g) and hits[].x2
  (double kick). hits[] stays the complete chart including x2 kicks,
  so an x2-unaware Reader plays exactly what the drummer plays.
- star_power / fills / solos: arrays of {start_time, end_time}, the
  same pair arrangement phrases use.
- levels: {easy|medium|hard: {hits, generated}}; hits[] is always the
  hardest chart, generated marks a software-reduced level.

Together per CONTRIBUTING: spec §7.5 + version ledger, drum-tab schema
(hit factored into $defs/hit so level hits validate identically),
extended example exercising every field, CHANGELOG, 1.20.0 bump,
validator tests for accepted and rejected shapes.

Checks (local): check_versions, validate.py (both packs), pytest (72),
ruff, mkdocs build --strict - all pass.

Optional drum metadata ranges that end before they start are accepted by validation. This is a minor gap in a backward-compatible change and can be fixed with a small validator check.

Marking ready: this is part of the drum gameplay metadata chain (feedpak-spec#68 → feedBack#1105 streams it → feedBack#1091 imports it) that got-feedBack/feedBack-plugin-drums#25 uses for star power, fills, solos and per-difficulty levels.

Reject ranges whose end precedes their start.

A range such as {"start_time": 8, "end_time": 6} passes this schema, although the specification requires end_time ≥ start_time. The reference validator therefore accepts invalid star_power, fills, and solos ranges. Add a cross-field check in the validator and a rejection test for each range field.
