+ * Turns numbers into notes in the given EDO scale (zero indexed).
+ *
+ * An EDO scale definition looks like this:
+ *
+ * e.g. C:LLsLLLs:2:1 <- this is the C major scale, 12 EDO
+ *
+ * e.g. C:LLsLLL:3:1 <- this is the Gorgo 6 note scale, 16 EDO
+ *
+ * An EDO scale, e.g. C:LLsLLLs:2:1, consists of a root note (e.g. C)
+ * followed by semicolon (':')
+ * and then a [Large/small step notation sequence](https://en.xen.wiki/w/MOS_scale)
+ * (e.g. LLsLLLs)
+ * followed by semicolon, then the large step size (e.g. 2)
+ * followed by semicolon, then the small step size (e.g. 1).
+ *
+ * The number of divisions of the octave is calculated as the sum
+ * of the steps in the EDO scale definition.
+ *
+ * e.g. C:LLsLLLs:2:1 is 2+2+1+2+2+2+1 = 12 EDO, 7 note scale
+ *
+ * e.g. C:LLsLLL:3:1 is 3+3+1+3+3+3 = 16 EDO, 6 note scale

 # @strudel/transpiler
 
-This package contains a JS code transpiler with the following features:
+This package contains a JS code transpiler with a plugin system that can be used to transform the code.
+
+A plugin can be registered via a `registerTranspilerPlugin` call :
+
+```js
+registerTranspilerPlugin({
+  walk: (context) => ({
+    enter: function(node, parent, prop, index) {},
+    leave: function(node, parent, prop, index) {}
+  })
+})
+```
+
+where the enter/leave functions (both optional) follow the `estree-walker` walk API.
+
+4 plugins are currently hosted inside `@strudel/transpiler`
+
+- mini: add locations of mini notation strings (double quoted or backticked) for highlighting
+- widgets: add handling of sliders & draw widgets
+- sample: make it possible to call a sample without await
+- kabelsalat: transform the code to handle the `K(..)` kabelsalat notation
+
+it also
 
-- add locations of mini notation strings (double quoted or backticked) for highlighting
-- converts pseudo note variables to note strings
 - adds return statement to the last expression
+- handles label capturing for block-based eval
 
 ## Install
