   Yes.  SMUS is the lowest-common-denominator of most existing Amiga
music packages.  Even though many packages have found SMUS too simple
for their needs, they do provide the option of loading SMUS and saving
as SMUS.  This allows inter-application transportability of at least
the instrumentation and score.

   So yes.  Even if you find you must use your own format, or add chunks
to SMUS, please allow the option to load/save SMUS.
