2025-03-13 (Th) EWC_Soother Text feedback in serial terminal

I copied my scale arrays from a previous project and shortened them to show how I use them now. The previous method allowed for dynamic note changes across multiple octaves, but this time I need to focus on which notes are traditionally on a pentatonic scale. I converted the arrays into one multi-dimensional array to make parsing easier. While extracting data, I did the same for the chord data. I printed the arrays to the serial monitor each time they changed, but I ran into a problem where TcMenu seemed to send an extra signal when I turned the knob beyond the programmed values. I assumed this was a feature for menu wraparound where I could scroll infinitely through the same list, and I tried to make that work, but it would not. I discovered that I had too few sets in my array, so I was getting unrelated data, not a wraparound feature. While I searched for a solution, I found out how to print text to the serial terminal so that I could report instrument names, scale names, and chord names.
