Gather notes per time-column across lanes; draw one shared stem per voice (hands
up / feet down) spanning the chord, so snare+hat on a beat share an up-stem. Ledger
lines for notes above/below the staff (hi-hat on its ledger line, crash higher).
Stems always clear the highest/lowest notehead; beams grouped per beat.

draw_notation() renders a bar as standard drum notation: 5-line staff + time
signature, voices mapped to staff positions and notehead types (oval drums,
cross hi-hat/cymbals), hands stem-up / feet stem-down, beamed eighths/sixteenths
grouped per beat, accents tinted. Developed entirely in the simulator
(uisim --bin notesim → PNG). Firmware build unaffected.

Honest answer to 'do the inputs/speaker work?': they had NO Rust code. Add the
drivers and a live self-test: buttons GP15/GP14 (pull-up), joystick GP26/GP27 via
ADC, speaker GP13 via PWM (~2 kHz click on button press). draw_peripheral_test
(pm-ui) shows button states, joystick dot + X/Y values, and beep activity; layout
verified in the simulator (uisim --bin periphsim) before flashing.

draw_metronome() renders the screen for any parsed track: track name + big BPM,
play/stop transport, and the polymeter lane grid — per-lane beat cells coloured by
level (accent amber / normal cyan / ghost purple / rest dark), playhead highlight,
beat gridlines, poly (~) marker. Pure no_std view over borrowed data (LaneView/
Screen) so the firmware build stays allocator-free.
uisim now parses a real track (track-format) and renders draw_metronome to PNG —
iterate the UI on the host, no bench. Firmware still draws the bring-up diagnostic.

Answer to 'can you simulate it?': the UI now renders on the host.
- pm-ui: shared no_std embedded-graphics drawing (draw_ui), used by BOTH the
firmware and the simulator — single source, no divergence.
- uisim: host crate that draws pm-ui onto a framebuffer and exports a PNG (pure
Rust, no SDL). Confirmed the bring-up pattern renders correctly off-device, so
the black screen is a panel/controller issue, not a draw bug.
- pm-kit: use pm_ui::draw_ui; trim the ST7796 extension init to just unlock + 0xB6
(the gamma/VCOM sent after DISPON likely blanked it); LED solid during init then
slow 1 Hz blink so hung-init / running / reset-loop are distinguishable.
Note: the simulator covers WHAT we draw (layout/colour/logic). It does NOT model
the ST7796 controller's hardware quirks (0xB6 line count, MADCTL scan, SPI init) —
those still need the bench, but that's a one-time bring-up.
