This Blog originated because everyone else wanted me to visit theirs, so why should they have all the fun? Indeed, if this trend continues, everyone will have their own blog, and will rant in it about how noone visits it, and noone will read anyone else's blog because they are too busy feeling self-important in their own. Anyway, here I am, ranting away, wondering will anyone else even bother to visit? Why should they? They're too busy working on their own blog. Well, good luck to them...
Why, oh why, is the framework in OS X so unhelpful to musicians? MIDI files should be easily parsable, but they're not. OK, they can be sucked in to a MusicSequence, but there is no way to find out what the Division value is in the inputted file, even though you need to specify it for writing the file back out to MIDI afterwards. Aaaaargh! I'll just stick to reading the file manually in C, I guess.

It has to be this way. It;s actually an old conspiracy by teh MIDI foundation forcing you to write the low-level conde exacetly to spec, just to discover that the 42nd file you try to parse is in non-std format and will send your code to ballygonowhere and the clint (we know who) will phone you and harras you on a Sunday morning.
