How to use:

  You must use -t option to choose the treble track (melody) of your MIDI.
  It's possible to choose the bass track (accompaniment) too, via -b option.

  PT3 files has 3 voices channels, so the melody and accompaniment of your song
  can be distributed into this channels via -v option (0=TTT, 1=TTB, 2=TBB).

  TTT voice style means that your treble track will use all 3 voices,
  therefore, melody chords (dyads or triads notes) will be distributed accordingly,
  one for each note, into this channels.

  TTB means that your treble track chords (dyads) will use 2 voices only,
  and your bass track notes will use the last one.

  TBB means 1 voice to your treble track notes (chords will be reduced to 1 note) and
  2 voices to your bass track chords (dyads).

  Example:
    midi2pt3 mysong.midi -t 0 -b 1 -v 1

  Means:
    Treble track = 0
    Bass track = 1
    Voice style = TTB (Treble-Treble-Bass)

  You can also display the MIDI notes for selected tracks as a MSX BASIC MML commands list
  via -dm option.
