Command	Description
`T <bpm>`	Sets the tempo (BPM). Range: 1-. Default is 120.
`Q <gate_percent>`	Sets the gate time as a percentage. Range: 0-100. 100 means the note is played with no gap, 0 means it is not played at all. Default is 80.
`@ <tone>`	Sets the tone. Range: 0-3 (by default: 0:Triangle / 1:Square / 2:Pulse / 3:Noise). Default is 0.
`V <vol>`	Sets the volume. Range: 0-127. Default is 100.
`K <key_offset>`	Sets the transpose amount in semitones. 12 raises the pitch by one octave. Default is 0.
`Y <offset_cents>`	Sets detune in cents. 100 raises by a semitone, -100 lowers by a semitone. Default is 0.
`@ENV <slot>`	Switches the envelope (volume curve) slot. Range: 0-. 0 turns it off.
`@ENV <slot> { init_vol, dur_ticks1, vol1, dur_ticks2, vol2, ... }`	Slot range: 1-. Sets and switches to the specified envelope slot. Slot 0 cannot be specified. Inside `{ }`, specify "initial volume (once)", then repeat "duration (tick), volume (vol)". 1 tick is 1/48 of a quarter note. Example: `@ENV1 { 30, 20, 100, 50, 0 }`
`@VIB <slot>`	Switches the vibrato (pitch modulation) slot. Range: 0-. 0 turns it off.
`@VIB <slot> { delay_ticks, period_ticks, depth_cents }`	Slot range: 1-. Sets and switches to the specified vibrato slot. Slot 0 cannot be specified. Inside `{ }`, specify "delay (tick), period (tick), depth (cent)". 1 tick is 1/48 of a quarter note. Example: `@VIB1 {24, 12, 100}`
`@GLI <slot>`	Switches the glide (pitch slide) slot. Range: 0-. 0 turns it off.
`@GLI <slot> { offset_cents, dur_ticks }`	Slot range: 1-. Sets and switches to the specified glide (pitch slide) slot. Slot 0 cannot be specified. Inside `{ }`, specify "initial pitch offset (cent), time to return to 0 (tick)". 1 tick is 1/48 of a quarter note. Specifying `*` for each parameter automatically applies the pitch offset as the difference from the previous note and the return time as the playback duration of each note, respectively. Example: `@GLI1 { -100, 24 }`
`O <oct>`	Sets the octave. Range: -1-9. `O4`'s A is 440 Hz. Default is 4.
`>`	Raises the octave by 1 (max 9).
`<`	Lowers the octave by 1 (min -1).
`L <len>`	Sets the default note/rest length. Range: 1-192. `L4` is a quarter note, `L8` is an eighth note, and `L12` is a quarter note triplet. Default is 4.
`C/D/E/F/G/A/B`	Plays the specified note. You can specify the length after the note, e.g., `F16`.
`R`	Rest. Range: 1-192. You can specify the length after the rest, e.g., `R8`.
`#`	Raises the note by a semitone.
`+`	Raises the note by a semitone.
`-`	Lowers the note by a semitone.
`.`	Dotted note/rest. Extends the length by half. Can be repeated for multiple dots.
`&`	Tie/Slur. When connecting the same pitch, it ties the notes into one. When connecting different pitches, it plays them legato (no gap). You can also specify only the length, e.g., `C4&16`.
`[`	Start of repeat section.
`] <count>`	End of repeat section. Count range: 1-. Repeats the section between `[` and `]` the specified number of times. If omitted, repeats infinitely. Nested repeats are supported.
