fns.play(obj, start, duration, callback)

• obj must be a note, scale, chord, or array of notes.
• start specifies how many seconds after invocation the object should be played. It is 0 by default.
• duration specifies how many seconds the object should be sustained for. It is 0.3 by default.
• If a callback is given, it will be invoked each time a note in the object is played. It is given two parameters, the original object and the particular note being played.

Chords and arrays of notes are played all at once. Scales are played in succession, with the duration applying to each note individually.

fns.arpeggiate(obj, start, duration, callback)

• obj must be a scale, chord, or array of notes.
• start specifies how many seconds after invocation the object should be played. It is 0 by default.
• duration specifies how many seconds each note should be sustained for. It is 0.3 by default.
• If a callback is given, it will be invoked each time a note in the object is played. It is given two parameters, the original object and the particular note being played.

Scales, chords and arrays of notes are played in succession, with the duration applying to each note individually.
