Well, the midi output is mainly useful to audibly check the file anyway --
I mean, you won't release a CD that is produced with it, won't you? But IMO
it's very useful to check the melody and the chords as well. (Nevertheless
a more realistic guitar for the chords would be fine, but I won't beg for
it as there are other, more important features to implement first.)
