Actually I've just had a look at this and it turns out to be a really
simple bug. The fix is changing two lines of the PT_PLAYER source, which is
distributed with the compiler (or should be).
Find the two lines starting at the BEGINSONG label:
BEGINSONG: EQU $+1
LD DE,32768
Take them out, and replace with
LD DE,(RESETPLAYER+1)
Simple. No changes to the compiler, so you don't need to recompile your music.
FWIW, the original version would be marginally faster (save a few entire
t-states once every several minutes... Hurrah!) except I forgot to ever
initialise the value of (BEGINSONG) in the RESETPLAYER routine. D'oh. And
the reason I didn't pick it up immediately was because, while writing and
testing the program, I always compiled the music at 32768. Oops.
