Re: [sc-users] MIDIFile

[Wouter Snoei <mailinglists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi William,

I'm not sure why that is there, it might have something to do with  
the relative timing common in MIDI files. I would advise you however  
to take a look at my library: http://www.woutersnoei.nl/wslib , which  
holds a more extensive midifile implementation named  
"SimpleMIDIFile". It features all types of MIDI data instead of just  
notes, and uses absolute timing instead of relative.

cheers,
Wouter
