Backport changes from retired 2.0 branch

[yaxu]

The old 2.0-dev branch is now retired.

Some changes should be backported to the active dev branch.

PRs to look at:

• Add normal signal for normally-distributed random numbers. #1055
• Split controller OSC off from SuperDirt handshake OSC #1027
• Add capital-M aliases for major chords #1006
• Add hush function + keybindings (also for start/stopping d10) #1012
• Add Sound.Tidal.Boot module with standard aliases #1007 ref BootTidal.hs breaking change + use of defaultConfig #1074
• overhaul of the parser #995

cycseq things

• 62c2eec
• move base package to tidal-core, splitting out tidal-params-dirt and tidal-stream

#1081 addresses the Sound.Tidal.Boot changes and is ready for review. I've mostly got the handshake OSC changes ported too, but I want to add a couple tests and bug fixes to address #1030.

I'm also interested in taking a look at some of the package reorganization code, but can approach that more piecemeal.

anything I can help with? How about the Megaparsec branch in ParseBP? I'm firm with hosc too. Or something basic so I can familiarize with the code base especially Patterns, ControlPatterns and how the cycling works.

Hi @sss-create ! As far as I remember, I didn't get far with megaparsec, and don't have a sense for the advantages of switching to it. Feel free to have a fresh look, but I'd assume that would involve starting afresh. We should probably continue discussion in a dedicated issue to it.

Otherwise from this task it looks like #1055 and #1012 still need merging into dev and are probably straightforward. I'm unsure about #1027, do you know @matthewkaney ?

[matthewkaney]

@yaxu #1027 is taken care of in #1051, which isn't merged yet. I remember it was basically done, but don't remember why I didn't wrap it up (maybe test failures or something?) I'll investigate and we should get this in before the next release!

[yaxu]

@matthewkaney great yes it seems it's good to merge, just with some conflicts to resolve. LMK if I can help!

[sss-create]

If you don't mind, I'd check the conflicts.
