Yes, playing from within the editor and the jukebox are not identical. The
jukebox simply hands off the entire tune to the player routine. The editor
calls the player routine once for each note. After each note, control returns
back to the editor.  The editor advances the song pointer and updates the
"LINE: XXX" display at the top of the screen before calling the player routine
again.
