 ## Macro Translations
 
 There are some situations in which it is hard or even impossible to construct a translation in a single step, but it may become much easier if we can recursively invoke other translations. midizap allows you to do this by "calling" the mod translation for a MIDI message on the right-hand side of a translation. This is done by prefixing the message to be expanded with the `$` character:
