"""
Detect consecutive perfect intervals in MusicXML and colorize the involved notes.

A consecutive violation occurs when:
  - Direct boundary: the same interval between the same voice pair ends at time t
    and a new instance begins at time t.
  - Rest look-through: the two voices previously sounded that interval together
    (their notes overlapping in time), then both fell silent without any
    intervening attack in either voice, and both re-enter with the same interval.

Independent violations receive distinct palette colors.  Violations that share
a note element are merged via union-find and receive the same color.

Octave doublings within a single voice stream (piano reinforcement) are excluded.
Grace notes are excluded; ornamental notes are treated as outside the structural
voice leading.

Usage: python conseq.py [--interval {fifths,octaves,both}] [--annotate] <input.xml> <output.xml>
Use '-' as either filename to read from stdin or write to stdout.
