Since it's a public class, multiple shreds can access it. However, I
don't really have an idea about how you do that. Please, kassen!
Explain!

Also, no, currently chuck doesn't have a way to import libraries or
files, so you'll have to copy/paste your code when recycling.

Actually, it's extremely easy! minute/bpm will return the number of
samples per beat/quarter note. In pure chuck:

80.0 => float bpm;
minute/bpm => dur beat;

and so on.
