There are a few programs available that can create Adlib .ROL files.
The original was Adlib's "Visual Composer," a graphics-oriented editor
which comes with some Adlib cards.  Another alternative is Admuse, a
text-oriented .ROL "compiler."  There are also numerous conversion
programs allowing you to convert from another music format .ROL.  (Like
taking an old MIDI file and making it into a .ROL..)
