The batida first, always
Most instrument references stop at the grip. On a cavaquinho that is barely the beginning: the fretted shape tells you which notes are available, and the batida decides which eighths get a down stroke, which get an up stroke, and which get chopped into a mute instead of a pitch. Cavaquinho Warrior draws every page from that. Chords are charted string by string with the fret and finger named, ready for a batida to chop through; scales are note maps with every root marked, built for the fills a cavaquinista drops between cells; and the three cells — samba, teleco-teco, choro — are computed from the pattern data and the registry's real tuning, never typed by hand.
