Thanks. The music, which I never got to hear under MacSpectacle, is
most impressive! RealSpectrum is much better, although there are
still glitches in that emulator when it comes to playing music, as
though it can't keep up with playing a series of notes - that's the
main thing I miss about my real Spectrum +2.

The tune is much more faithful to Grieg's original - like how I
recoded it for the Special Edition of Manic Miner 4, although of
course I was restricted by the 48K MM/JSW tune-format there.

It's just a shame that the tune goes back to the beginning whenever
you enter a new cavern or lose a life, especially with it being a
full-length version of "In The Hall Of The Mountain-King".
