midi files

Anybody have any portable MIDI file code, for reading/writing MIDI files?

(UNIX platform preferred)

(I realize that this isn't completely tuning related, but
perhaps some of you are programmers and have used C to manipulate MIDI)

Thanks,
Marcus

If you need the standard MIDI File format, I would heartily recommend
"The File Formats Handbook" by Gunter Born, which has the format, as well
as that of WAV files, 1-2-3 files, etc. Published by Thomson (!) Computer
Press / ITP, 1995.

It's also on the WWW at:
http://www.ips.id.ethz.ch/~parish/midi/midi_file_format.txt

The easy way of putting it is to describe a SMF as made up of "chunks" -
a header chunk with information about the file, followed by chunk after
chunk of MIDI information with the time of the event in clock cycles (as
taken against the timebase defined in the header chunk).

Good Luck,
