<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px">1. No need to require jack for simple MIDI. Maybe allow an option here. (Unfortunately, my jack is not working right now so could not play anything :-()</p>

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px">2. With or without jack, need to be able to set some MIDI output device. Better, program should show up as an alsa/jack MIDI source which can be connected using jack or alsa connections such as in qjackctl. (I see no provision for this in mma's CLI, however--does it do stdin->stdout?)</p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px"> </p></div></blockquote><div>Don't know if I understand correctly. LinuxBand will create a JACK Midi port called linuxband-player. You can connect it using qjackctl. mma cli is a Midi generator not a player.</div>

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px">3. You might look at Jammer's interface. The measures/bars view show chords and styles (plus user part names and such). There is indication of tempo changes, key and time signatures and such, all in place and all visible.</p>
