Section on using MIDI does not reference -+rtmidi=jack

It should be in git, I wrote it a month ago

for sure Jack is being used mostly on the Linux platform, but it exist
on the Mac and even on Windows:

I have never heard of someone using Jack on Windows, so i guess for
now the realtimelinux section is OK.

Is there a way, you think, that for example -+rtmidi=jack together
with -Q999 could give the names of Jack Midi ports?

No, I don't think so. You get the ports from the jack ctl. 

I don't see jack anywhere else in the manual. So that is where I put the info. I don't have time to edit and maintain the manual
as  a document.

it is the most logical place if you need information on Jack: one
probably uses Linux.

Perhaps in the future the Mac page and the Windows page can have their
own Jack section.

You are indeed right reading the code.  Will fix -- thanks

i just tried out the jack midi driver, and it works just fine. I noticed that
-M and -Q needed another argument and tried to find out what name or number
i should use.

As it turns out, the following works perfectly :) :
-+rtmidi=jack -Mrock -Qroll

as it turns out, it doesn't really matter what name or number you give to -M
or -Q, as long as there is one it just creates a Jack Midi in named
"csound6-midi_in" and "csound6-midi_out".
