MIDI Songs
Bardheim loads user MIDI files from:

The folder is created automatically when the mod loads. Add .mid files there,
equip a Bardheim instrument, toggle play mode with LeftAlt + P, then use the
song controls to select and play them.
Lyre playback handles melodic MIDI, drum playback uses General MIDI channel 10 percussion where available, and flute playback folds melodic notes into the current flute range.
Multiplayer
Multiplayer audio is experimental, both-sides-required, and disabled by default.
Enable Multiplayer.EnableMultiplayerAudio only if every participating player
has Bardheim installed and accepts that two-client validation is deferred to a
later release.
Unmodded players are not expected to hear Bardheim instruments.
Release Scope
This release does not add buffs, skills, server-authoritative music state, synchronized song transfer, Harmony patches, or custom Unity asset bundles.
