On Friday, December 16, 2011 03:21:40 PM Bob van der Poel did opine:
That line didn't trigger my curiosity because its exactly the same for a
commercially produced 26 second snippet of Tennessee Flat Top Box that I
grabbed from the J-Cash cd AmericanIV "The man comes around", released
after he died IIRC. He knew his time was near, and some of that is tear-
jerkingly sad, but its pure Johnny Cash too.
What is this MMA? I don't recall reading about it before. Something you
wrote? Humm, found you on google, listened to a snippet of cedars and
bought the cd. I'm a sucker for a well blown Sax! Great stuff IMO.
I stripped all those lines out of the .mid file, works well now except that
rosegarden has locked me up totally, 3 times while playing a song, in the
last 20 hours. 2 different songs. :)
Cheers, Gene

Hi Gene (assuming you're my old Tandy Color
Computer Friend) ...
I hope so Bob, although its been a decade or so since we last typed at each
other I think. Apparently you are not subscribed to Dennis's coco list at
maltedmedia.com though. Glad to see you got away from the Redmond
monolith.
Thanks, got it
and installed it, makes me ask WTH is:
0 TimeSig 4/4 24 8
The last field here is the number of midi ticks per quarter note. My
program MMA generates this as 192 (ticks per "beat"). Others use 384.
I'd try changing this and see what happens. 0 Tempo 428571
With this and the BperQ value you can determine the tempo in Beats per
minute. But right now I forget the exact way :) In my programs a tempo
of 120 BPM has a value here of 500000.
In MMA this value is determined by taking the desired beats per minute
(BPM) and dividing that into 6000000. Problem right now is remembering
how i got the 6,000,000 value :) 0 Arb f8
If you look at the source for MF2M or midicomp this is generated by an
"arbitrary length" data message. I've never run into one in my stuff.
If you need to I can dig in some of my manuals and see if I can find
more ... but I'd guess it's some kind of junk.
