This is a competition were SID composers have to work together. A composer must use one editor for composing a peace of a tune, then another composer will take that tune and extends it, and so one until a big sid is made. To prevent that the tune is influenced by things like the editor version, multispeed tune, PAL/NTSC frequency, and so on... all composers must use the same tool.
