[linux-audio-user] Re: metronome-free MIDI recording

[Michal Seta]

I did that mistake only once in my life.  a 5 min piece took me about
a month, if not more.  I said, no more typing.  

What I found particularily useful, besides scripting languages, was
OOo.calc.  writing out 50 000 events, in some granular score I did, took
only 25 seconds (and that because I was on a slow machine) after I
have defined the formulas for each p-field.

./MiS
