Research direction

Start by tracing the dependency edges between the notation, instruments, and playback modules in the C++ source. Identify where each module references the others and determine the project’s existing module-boundary conventions. Done means the requested cyclic dependencies are removed without breaking the affected module interactions; no files or tests are named in the issue.
