NOTES

• This requires the latest version of QB64-PE
• Mixing this with QB64-PE's $MIDISOUNDFONT will not work
• When you clone a repository that contains submodules, the submodules are not automatically cloned by default
• You will need to use the git submodule update --init --recursive to initialize, fetch and checkout git submodules
