Title: make everyone more staccato

I'm not sure if this is the right place to make this change, but the main thing that sounds off to me about viba is that it doesn't sound punchy enough; all the notes are held for too long. How long a note is held should really be up to the individual musician, which I think means it goes in fiddler or pianist, but I didn't see how to change that with the api. So instead I just put it here. If there's a better place for this, feel free to reject this pull request, but definitely do listen to how it sounds with shorter notes.

(I got this working on my mac, but I did it in a kind of hackish way. You can see the changes I made to do that on https://github.com/jeffkaufman/viba)
