Music in radium is organized in the following structures:
- Notes: the smallest organizational unit. Refers to individual notes played.
- Tracks: Notes are put on tracks. The track defines which instrument the notes are played on.
- Blocks: One or more tracks form a block together. In other tracker software this is called a pattern. Usually each block contains a musical phrase, like a melody, a rhythm, or both.
- Playlists: The biggest organizational structure in radium. Here you define in what order the blocks are played.
