         * This utility class provides you with more quantising capabilities
         * than you ever dreamt possible.
         *
         * The class is used by specifying the set of parameters to run the
         * PowerQuantise with, and then providing a (tidied) @ref PhraseEdit
         * object containing the source @ref MidiData to quantise. Once the
         * PowerQuantiser is run, the @ref PhraseEdit will contain tidied,
         * (powerfully) quantised @ref MidiData.
         *
         * Some of the facilities provided by PowerQuantise are:
         * @li Quantise to user-supplied pattern (or 'groove')
         * @li Shift events by percentage
         * @li Windowing
         * @li Only quantise selection
         * @li Only quantise note events
         * @li Spread continuous controllers intelligently between new note
         *     positions
         * @li Quantise notes forwards, backwards, or to the nearest snap point
         * @li Quantise note length or note off time
         * @li Humanisation
         *
         * @sect To be completed
         * This class isn't a Notifer yet, but it will be. I imagine that the
         * @ref PowerQuantise::Pattern class will also be Serializable so that
         * you can save a library of named patterns. Watch this space.
