[+] Added fade in and fade out to export window.

[#] The button will still be available for manual checks on the About dialogue.

[+] Added -Play argument to allow for playback without a UI.

[#] You can specify soundfonts using the -SF argument: -SF "C:\Path\To\Soundfont.sf2".

[#] You can specify volume using the -Volume argument: -Volume 0.8

[#] onestop.mid bundled with Windows was a very convenient example of this.
