What would hearing "proper" abc as opposed to a midi file sound like? I'm not sure I understand this at all. It does, however, lead on to a question I have. Does anyone have any code to play polyphonic beeps through a PC speaker running Windows? I have some code using inp and outp to tweak port settings that will let me play a single beep of a given frequency, I'd like to extend this to play chords. It doesn't need to be pretty, this is meant for checking whether the input is correct rather than any performance purpose. I'd rather not write out a midi file - I'd like to keep this simple if at all possible.
