How many notes can I play at once?

Currently the limit on simultaneous audio channels is 5 I believe:

microsoft/pxt-common-packages/blob/master/libs/mixer/melody.h#L34


    int16_t endVolume;     // 0-1023
    uint16_t endFrequency; // Hz
};
#ifdef DATASTREAM_MAXIMUM_BUFFERS
#define CODAL 1
#endif
namespace music {
#define MAX_SOUNDS 5
STATIC_ASSERT((1 << (16 - OUTPUT_BITS)) > MAX_SOUNDS);
enum class SoundState : uint8_t {
    Waiting, //
    Playing, //
    Done     //
};
struct WaitingSound {

(thanks @jwunderl)
