Sure, *because* there wasn't a standard midifile library around in the first
place, they all hacked it into the program directly, therefore it is

Reusability of code is a quite valid point, and I
thought the OP's
question was quite interesting.
We shouldn't define ourselves in terms of what windows does. Frankly, I don't
care anymore, its now 8 years since I switched to Linux completely.
libmidifile would be cute, is any of the existing codebases flexible
enough so that it could be massaged into a nice lib?
vote++ to everything you said. dunno about any existing midi code though
flexible enough to be put into a lib.. After taking a glance at
rosegarden and muse's source it seems there's always app specifics
intertwined. Wasn't a midi file pretty much a simple dump of
midi events anyways?
That is mostly true for type 0 files, but type 1 (and especially 2) is
a bit more involved. And of course, there are the SMF meta events.
