T55and it is up to you to divide each bar into suitable chord intervals.
T75Each chord is described on a single line with up to 5 parameters:-
T=5The parameters must be separated by at least 1 space.
T?5Here is a specimen chord, the elements of which will be examined

B00~G1
T34A bar consists of a group of good chords arranged on consecutive lines
T44in the editor text.
T64Any line which is blank, has a command, or is not understood, will
T74terminate the chord, cancel all accidentals, and cause PIANOLA to
T84advance its bar-counter.
T:4DEBUG (Alt+D) will check that each chord has the correct number
T;4of beats according to the current timesig.
T?4It is not strictly necessary to set the default octave at the
T@4beginning of each bar, but it is good form to set it in the 1st chord,
TA4as a note to yourself, and to avoid ambiguities.
