Thank you for the helpful feedback. I've added download buttons for mp3, midi and abc. I've also made it autoplay and more seamlessly play the next song after one ends. Now I will work on correcting the voices and making it sound more like a professional piano.

Thanks for your effort. The three download buttons work. According to the button state, the music should play when I come to the site, but it doesn't. If I press the button twice, it sounds. Then if I just let the piece run, when switching to the next song, only the title changes, but I still hear the former piece.

Thanks, I'm working on it, so keep checking back for changes. The music should sound better, but I am refining it as I go with the goal of sounding like natural piano.

I will also work out the kinks with autoplay not working in some browsers (it should work with Chrome)

Great. The piano sounds better now (though for a "natural" piano a lot of other aspects like damper noises, resonant strings, etc. have to be considered). You could try to generally turn down the velocity a bit (especially relative to the "chant voice"), and you could even add a random velocity factor to each chord or note so that it sounds a bit more human-like. Switching to the next audio now works for me.
