> lib-time-and-pitch implements a time stretching algorithm originating in Staffpad. It currently is one of the highest-quality time stretching algorithms for music on the market.
Staffpad links to https://staffpad.net and seems to be some music app. The library name links to a Microsoft repository (https://github.com/audacity/audacity/tree/e4bc052201eb0e6e22...) with no readme. The source code is documentation enough :)
