+The timestamp list in a song is only used as a tool to then parse different
+difficulties. Once all difficulties have been parsed, it is no longer needed.
+
+As you might see, a given difficulty doesn't contain a list of notes but a list
+of chords instead. The reason behind this choice is that many notes are meant
+to be played together (as a chord). This means that all those notes have the
+same start and duration. You can therefore save memory by grouping notes
+together. Afterwards, a single note can be thought of as a single note chord.
+Another benefit to this approach is that QT offers the option to animate
+objects in parallel. This means that a single animation call can be made to the
+QT engine for every chord, and we're sure that all notes appear in sync on
+screen while playing.
