Subject: [PATCH] Add dotted rhythms to iconic songs for musical accuracy

- Silent Night: proper 6/8 feel with dotted-quarter + eighth (3,1,2) pattern
- Deck the Halls: dotted pickup on "Deck the halls" and "Fa la la" phrases
- Amazing Grace: dotted quarter-eighth pairs in "A-MAZ-ing Grace" phrasing
- Auld Lang Syne: characteristic dotted Scots snap rhythm (3,1 pattern)
