Implements a loader, for SoundSmith tracker songs, from the Apple IIgs. https://www.huibert-aalbers.com/apple-iigs/soundsmith

https://worrydream.com/iigs/slixmusic.zip, this is a link to some sample songs. To get loose instrument examples, you'll need to extra soundsmith stuff from some apple images. Or I can zip some up, and email them. Unsure what the guidelines are. I love OpenMPT, and Soundsmith was my first tracker, in 1989 --- so I love being about to load the song, and play them.

Is something wrong with your linebreaks? Every include insertion is seen as also considering the previous line changed.

I will take a look.

You were right, accidentally had unix linefeeds into this windows files. Thank you for catching that.

Can you point at those images and maybe some software how to easily extract them on Windows/Linux? You can probably also just zip them up ands try to attach them to a comment here if they are not too large. That would definitely make testing this a lot easier.

Footloose.zip
OperationLambda.zip
photonix.zip

There a 2img archive here: https://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/soundsmith-v1-01/index.html
Then there's an app called CiderPress2 here: https://ciderpress2.com/

When using the app to extract songs, do not leave the filetypes enabled (these append #XXXXXX to the end of the filename for the apple filetype, and aux type ... I'm not supporting that right now.

If you load directly from the .zip archive the instrument samples will be silent.

I want to mention, these have to be unzipped, before opening with OpenMPT, I'm unsure what extra work I need to do, to directly load the samples from the .zip file. (this is something I will be looking at, since it would be nice)

Thank you,
Jason

This would be a bigger architectural change affecting all file formats, so it does not need to be or even can be implemented here.

I'm not sure I understand why appveyor is missing artifacts. Any advice on how I can fix this is appreciated.

Just ignore that. The free CIs are all just a flaky mess.
