Description

My idea

I propose to implement the sound of the cross-noteheaded guitar notes in the same way as it is implemented in Muse Sounds.

Problem to be solved

This will allow users to hear muted guitar strings when using the standard MS Basic music font.
Currently, MS Basic does not respond to cross-noteheaded guitar notes.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the MS Basic playback handling for cross-noteheaded guitar notes and compare it with the existing Muse Sounds behavior. Done means MS Basic produces audible muted guitar-string playback for those notes, with coverage for the relevant notation case.
