it is not possible to interpet either of them without tempo/meter
information - they do not refer to an audio-based timeline, only a
"musical time" (bars|beats|ticks).
Sorry, you're right, the applications have to handle informations about
e.g. the actual song position by the sum of 1/16 notes, from the
starting point of a song. OT: Unfortunately Ardour as master, can sync
an Atari Cubase, but not as slave, while Rosegarden as master, can sync
an RX21, but not an Atari Cubase.
the interesting cases all involve the MMC source
outside the computer,
which makes using ALSA MIDI directly a bit more sensible (IMHO).
That is, what I was thinking of.
