OH, that last paragraph was helpful. I was actually taken aback by the
warnings when I did my own (incomplete) attempt to duplicate your example above.
While I see (now) that midish was originally designed for a different use case
(direct MIDI input) I still think it might be helpful for others to add
a section to the manual which basically contains your posting I am
replying to :-). The basic example on how to create MIDI events from
scratch, and maybe a paragraph about why it is so cumbersome
and a reference to tcheck regarding the warnings, would
have been everything I needed when I read the manual :-).
And mind you, I actually *read the manual* :-)

Hi,
It's kinda painful, as the tool was designed to work with an input
device.
You could create a track and add events one by one, ex:
onew piano {0 0}
tnew mytrack
taddev 1 0 0 {non piano 64 90}
taddev 1 1 0 {noff piano 64 0}
see:
http://www.midish.org/manual.html#func_taddev
http://www.midish.org/manual.html#ev_ev
you'll get warnings about unterminated notes and/or other
anomalies, that you can ignore until all events are added. Once
you're done, you could run tcheck to fix any anomaly, just in case. On Wed, February 5, 2014 12:31 am, Mario Lang

A simple example on how to actually do that would be appreciated. raf <rmouneyres(a)gmail.com> writes:

midish looks rather interesting. However, the manual.html basically
just explains how to record data from an input device. Does latest
midish support creating MIDI data from scratch, and if so, is there
perhaps some examples on how to do that?
Check this section :
http://www.midish.org/manual.html#ev
You can compose note on/off events and save the sequence as a song or
export the song to .mid To make the process less painful, you could define
routines to make
certain things automatic, depending on your needs.
I will look into this, but honestly, from the syntax above, it
doesn't look like midish can fullfil my requirements as explain in the
beginning of this thread. I have learnt alot about its potential uses
though, so this was productive, thank you.
