+ * The function `swingBy x n` breaks each cycle into `n` slices, and then delays events in the second half of each slice by the amount `x`, which is relative to the size of the (half) slice. So if `x` is 0 it does nothing, `0.5` delays for half the note duration, and 1 will wrap around to doing nothing again. The end result is a shuffle or swing-like rhythm
