DESCRIPTION

     The first argument to midiplay is a MIDI device identifier, as returned
     by the midideivce(n) command.  The second argument is a song descriptor
     as returned by midimake(n) or midiread(n).  There may also be an optional
     third argument, "repeat".  If "repeat" is specified, the song will replay
     once the end is reached.

     song reaches the end.
