Fix Danny Boy, Red River Valley, Parting Glass rhythms
Danny Boy (Londonderry Air): Replace all-quarter encoding with proper flowing Irish dotted rhythm. Phrases now use dotted-quarter+eighth pairs (3,1) for melodic motion, half notes (4) on stressed syllables like "Boy", and dotted-half (6) or whole (8) for held phrase-end notes like "-ing", "side", "bide". Total duration increases from ~43s/pass to ~50s/pass reflecting the song's true character. Red River Valley: Slow American ballad now has dotted-quarter+eighth motion with half-note phrase endings instead of uniform quarter notes. The Parting Glass: Irish 4/4 ballad now uses proper dotted feel with stressed syllables held as half/dotted-half notes. https://claude.ai/code/session_016yrXXcwbdXGoSXkNX8UcP2
