  "description": "A writing desk for alternate takes: keep several versions of a word, sentence or paragraph in place, audition them with synthesized tones, dim text back and stash cuts in an overflow. Inspired by the “alternative control” idea Jason Fried showed with his Write_On editor; independent and not affiliated.",
  "format": {

    "paragraphTakes": "::: takes\nversion one\n+++ >\nversion two (chosen)\n:::",
    "overflow": "Everything after a line reading \"--- overflow ---\" is the stash, one item per blank-line-separated paragraph.",

    "engine": "Web Audio, synthesized in the browser; no samples are downloaded",
    "rule": "Alternates ring high and climb the chosen scale; returning to the original plays a low tone. Paragraph takes play a two-note chord.",
