Sorry, no built-in sounds and no "play xxx tempo yyy c d e f g ba b c"
This is where the HC-compatibility stops...

I am working with a german keyboard and have no problems getting these 
chars.

> , as they are typed here with the AltGr modifier key.

What exactly do you mean by this ?

These characters cannot be typed on windows but with the ALT-GR-key.
(You can get these chars by holding "ALT" and typing the ASCII-Number on 
the
number-keyboard on the right, though. A leftover from the old 
DOS-days ;-)
