Used by Party Willy 128 as the title-screen tune.
* "Where Bluebirds Fly." (Radiohead), programmed by me.
Used by Party Willy 128 as the in-game tune.
I encoded both these tunes as 48K JSW tunes, and used SPECSAISIE
1.3's JSWtoJSW128Tunes function to convert them to 128K tunes.
I doubt that I'll ever exploit the ability to play up to three notes
at once, as I really need sheet-music to work out the chords, and it
seems like the effort would be way out of proportion.

1. save a JSW128 or JSW64 game from JSWED v2.2.4
2. MERGE ""
3. edit Line 120 to LOAD "cheat.tun" CODE 63232
4. delete Line 130
5. RUN
It's amazing what secrets can be revealed by running every TAP file
through SPECSAISIE's PrintHeaders function...
BTW, the BASIC loader emitted by JSWED v2.2.4 says "Jet-Set Willy 64"
in Line 10's REM statement, even for JSW128 games. This added to the
confusion when I was trying to decide whether a recent JSW128 game
was, in fact, a JSW64 game (I decided it wasn't when I opened it
with JSWED).
