Occurred to me that this must be a phenomenon after reading synopses of The Fire Within (2022) and Fire of Love (2022)--- currently omitted from the article. One gets the sense that it is more common than it ought to be, but the question is

They could encode just the intro with bespoke settings and concatenate that to the bitstream of their other content if they really cared about making it look good.

Many inaccuracies in this article. The Well Tempered Keyboard was certainly a deliberate realization of a particular concept, which makes use of several already-written preludes. Also, egregiously: >a system of tuning that’s become stand
