I'm currently trying to work my +way through the arrangement chunk, but progress is slow and sporadic. + +## Can I help? + +Absolutely! Get in touch if you have any ideas or suggestions, or just want to +keep up with what's going on. I'd be very grateful for any insights into the +file format you may have, even if you don't want to get your hands dirty with +`nom` or Rust. + +You can reach me through the [audioplugins mailing list], or find my email in +the repository commits.
