TIMS - this is music, stupid, you know, stuff you
_listen_ to ;)  OK, you don't need to hear a Beethoven
quartet, but a piece you've never seen before?  The
first thing I wanted to do was to hear what it sounded
like.  I know most people reading the docs know how to
add midi to the source and probably how to set the right
instrument, but why should they have to?  Does it do 
any harm there?
