You mean bdiff? http://www.webalice.it/g_pochini/bdiff/

BTW, I play all kinds of (mostly acoustic) plucked instruments in different 
tunings, on amateur level, from baroque mandolin to (renaissance and baroque)
lute to several guitars, I even have a piano and a spinet in my living room 
(can't play them well, but my girlfriend is piano teacher), I even play a bit 
recorder and sing sometimes, and I have a nice home studio with some external 
MIDI synths (KORG Wavestation, Roland GR-33, Roland SH-09 and SPV-355 analog 
synths via doepfer MCV4 MIDI-to-CV converter, a Yamaha FB-01 4-op F/M synth, 
and this crazy old E-mu SP12 drum sampler/sequencer.

I'd be glad to take part if a tune matches my not-so-narrow musical taste and if 
my sparetime permits...
