 +===== Song Structure ===== 
 +''.TRACK //track_name//'' - Each track needs this. 
 + 
 +//You can add some custom waveforms, drums, envelopes, macros, etc.// 
 + 
 +''.CHANNEL 0 //ch_name//'' - Track setup; affects all channels but can be overriden by commands in each of the other channels 
 + 
 +MML commands to set up the master volume, tempo, default note-length, etc. follow the ''.CHANNEL 0'' definition. 
 + 
 + 
 + 
 +''.CHANNEL //#// //ch_name//'' - Channel 1-6, one for each of the PC Engine's 6 channels. 
 + 
 +MML commands for the specified channel follow the ''.CHANNEL //#//'' definition.
