fix(gp_autosync): slope-constrained DTW steps — stop path collapse on riff-based songs (#791)
librosa.sequence.dtw's default step sizes permit pure horizontal/vertical
moves; on songs whose chroma is self-similar for long stretches the flat
cost surface let the path collapse (minutes of score onto one audio frame),
so auto-sync produced monotonic-but-garbage sync points and the per-bar
warp imported charts badly out of sync while reporting success.

Use the standard music-sync step pattern [[1,1],[1,2],[2,1]] (local tempo
ratio bounded to 0.5x-2x), falling back to unconstrained steps if the
global length ratio makes it infeasible.

Validated on the reported song (138 BPM tab, YouTube audio): coarse points
now track 1:1, refine holds slopes 0.77-1.04, warped downbeats hit onset
peaks at 3.3x background energy.

lib/gp_autosync.py — Automatic score-to-audio alignment for Guitar Pro files.
Aligns a Guitar Pro tab to an audio file using chroma-based Dynamic Time
Warping (DTW), producing a GpSyncData object compatible with gp8_audio_sync.
This allows any GP file (GP3-GP8) to be precisely aligned to a matching
audio recording without manual sync point placement.
The approach:
1. Synthesise a chroma feature matrix from the tab's note pitches and timing
2. Extract a chroma feature matrix from the audio file using librosa
3. Align them with DTW to find the optimal bar-to-timestamp mapping
4. Return a GpSyncData with sync points sampled at bar boundaries
Dependencies: librosa, numpy, soundfile (all present when lyrics-karaoke
plugin is installed; graceful ImportError otherwise with clear message).
Public API:
is_available() -> bool
auto_sync(gp_path, audio_path, ...) -> GpSyncData
refine_sync(sync, audio_path, ...) -> GpSyncData
estimate_audio_offset(gp_path,
audio_path) -> float
bar_start_times(gp_path) -> list[float]
gp_has_expandable_repeats(gp_path) -> bool
build_warp_anchors(sync_points,
bar_starts) -> list[tuple[float, float]]
warp_time(t, anchors) -> float
warp_song_times(song, warp) -> None
The warp helpers (bar_start_times / build_warp_anchors / warp_time /
warp_song_times) are librosa-free: they turn a GpSyncData produced by
auto_sync (or extracted from a GP8 file) into a piecewise-linear
score-time -> audio-time mapping and apply it to a lib.song.Song, so
converted charts follow the recording's actual tempo drift instead of a
single scalar offset.

Refine a coarse bar-1 estimate using a tempo-phase sweep over onsets.
The DTW alignment gives a coarse estimate of where bar 1 falls in the
audio (±1-2s). This function narrows it to ±10ms by finding the beat
grid phase that maximises onset alignment within the search window.
Algorithm:
1. Detect onsets in the first `analysis_duration` seconds of audio
2. For each candidate phase within [coarse_t - search_radius,
coarse_t + search_radius], generate a click grid at `tempo_bpm`
3. Count how many onsets fall within `onset_tolerance` seconds of any
click — this is the alignment score
4. The phase with the highest score is bar 1 beat 1
This handles the common case of a silent or very soft first beat (e.g.
November Rain's piano attack at t=0) that onset detectors miss. The
phase sweep is immune to silent beats because it scores based on ALL
onsets across the song, not just the first.

coarse_t: DTW coarse estimate of bar-1 position (seconds)
tempo_bpm: Tab's authored BPM at bar 1
sr: Sample rate for analysis (default 22050)

search_radius: ±seconds around coarse_t to search (default 3.0)
phase_step: Phase grid resolution in seconds (default 0.005 = 5ms)
onset_tolerance: Max seconds an onset can be from a click to count
as aligned (default 0.06 = 60ms)
analysis_duration: Seconds of audio to load for onset detection.
Longer = more onsets = more reliable score.
120s (first 2 min) covers enough material.
y: Optional pre-decoded mono audio at `sr` (e.g. the
buffer auto_sync already loaded). When given, the
on-disk reload is skipped and the buffer is sliced
to the first `analysis_duration`s.
Returns:
Refined bar-1 time in seconds from the beginning of the audio file.

gp_path: Optional path to the GP file. When given, exact
per-bar score times (bar_start_times) drive the
densified grid; without it the grid is limited to
a 4/4 approximation built from the points' authored
tempos, and accuracy degrades on odd meters.
sr: Analysis sample rate.
search_radius: ±seconds around each coarse estimate to sweep.
phase_step: Sweep resolution in seconds.
onset_tolerance: Max onset-to-click distance that counts as aligned.
Returns:
A new GpSyncData with the refined (and usually denser) points and a
recomputed audio_offset. Returns `sync` unchanged when it has no
usable points. Quiet bars (fewer than 4 onsets nearby) keep their
coarse interpolated time rather than locking onto noise.
