Features

Event timestamps can be converted between absolute or delta tick values with the MidiFile::deltaTicks and MidiFile::absoluteTicks functions. In absolute tick mode, messages can be inserted into tracks in any order and later sorted by timestamp with the MidiFile::sortTracks function. Multi-track files can be converted to a single track in a reversible process. Event performance times in seconds can be calculated from tick times and tempo meta messages with the MidiFile::doTimeAnalysis function. Durations of notes can be extracted using the MidiFile::linkNotePairs function.
