This article explains the structure of Dragon Quest 6 & Dragon Quest 3. The format is actually a variant of the Nintendo SPC, though there are many differences between this engine and the basic N-SPC format.
ドラゴンクエスト6とドラゴンクエスト3の音楽フォーマットのコマンドについて書き記しておきます。hbdqspcを作ってから半年経った今ようやく気がついたことには、これはSNES Nintendo Music Format Specに記した任天堂標準フォーマットの変種です。とはいえ、その構造やコマンドは結構大幅に異なっているので、同一のフォーマットとして取り扱うのはあまり賢明ではありません。

めんどくさがって疑似アセンブリの内容が幾分適当ですが……非常にシンプルで、かつまとまった構造をしています。ARAM上の絶対アドレスで位置を表現するフォーマットは多いですが、このエンジンでは、最初の楽曲位置はさておき、それ以降のシーケンスデータに関してはすべて「オフセット」で場所を示します。私が見た限り、曲へのポインタは上位バイトと下位バイトが少し離れた位置にありました。
細かいことは、拙作のhbdqspcを通して生のデータと向き合えば、それなりにわかるのではないかと思います。
Translated:
The trouble is that the contents of the pseudo-assembly are somewhat appropriate ... but it has a very simple and integrated structure. There are many formats that express position by absolute address on ARAM, but with this engine, the first music position is aside, and for all subsequent sequence data, the position is indicated by "offset". As far as I could see, the pointer to the song was a little bit apart from the high and low bytes.
The details can be understood as long as they correspond to the raw data through the hbdqspc of the masterpiece.

Note Parameters ($01-7F)
VByte itself means the length of the following note (24 = quarter note, usually).
Takes 1 argument $xy:
When $xy < $80:
$x = Duration Rate (0-7)
$y = Velocity Rate (0-15)
コマンドバイト自身で音の長さを表します。通常24が四分音符に相当します。
続くバイト（$xyとする）が$80未満であればそれも処理します。xで音の長さ（クオンタイズ）、yで音の大きさを段階的に指定します。数値に対応してどのような比率が割り当てられているのかは、中のテーブルの値によります。
つまり、このコマンドの効果は（細かいパラメータの違いは除いて）任天堂エンジンと同じです。
Translated:
Itself represents the length of the sound-byte command. Equivalent to a quarter note is usually 24.
Last byte ($xy that) but it also handles of less than $80. x The length of the sound (quantization), y specify the size of the sound stages. What percentage of assigned numbers correspond to what is in the table depends on the value.
In other words, the effect of this command (except for small differences in parameters) engine is the same as Nintendo.
