Hey Deuce, I have an ANSI music question for you.

I have a sound effect I want to play. Right now I'm using this sequence:

<0x1b>[0m<0x1b>[24;1H<0x1b>[8m<0x1b>[MB T255O3B8B16O4E4 <0x0e><0x1b>[0m

This works in SyncTerm. The music plays in the background ... but it also garbles whatever graphics are being displayed on screen.

After looking at cterm.txt, I feel like this sequence is probably not the best. It has some extra stuff in it that I'm sure is unnecessary. I'd like to switch to using the CSI | (pipe) format, but I can't get it to to work.

This is what I tried:

<0x1b>[=0M<0x1b>|B T255O3B8B16O4E4 <0x0e>

Anyway, just looking for suggestions on the correct cterm-compliant way to play a musical sequence, but without screwing up any graphics that might currently be displayed on the terminal.
