Musical Stairs
/*
* Musical Stairs

* The core assumptions of this code mostly have to do with the sequence in which the
* XSHUT pins are wired together:
*
* 1. All of the XSHUT pins are contiguous on the Arduino, starting at XSHUT_OFFSET.
* 2. The pins are ordered L1, R1, L2, R2, ... , L10, R10
*
* At the moment, we are triggering a note to be played if REQ_CONSECUTIVE_BREAKS consecutive
