To answer your question, I believe we'll (yes, I
might chime in) base
work around samples, so you won't be submitting midi-files, as it would
create havoc (sure, you could provide a midi-file so someone else could
recreate what you've done, but please provide a audio sample as well).
Why, you may ask? Well, for starters, you would have to provide us with
presets, instructions for patching in jack and alsa, and some program's
midifiles don't play nice with other's (for example, even if you arrange
a song in seq24, it'll be hell for a Rosegarden-user).
So, well, yes. just fiddle around, and when it sounds good on your
computer, just sample and upload it. That'll work nicest.
MIDI has it's place. I find it works well for sketching things out,
but there are details to be worked out as you say. For making really
good quality audio stuff, ya gotta share the audio files though. At
least that's my experience over more than a decade. MIDI still had
trouble in a band I was in where we were all using Logic.
