OK, I can *live* with -M0.

It's too bad the parser doesn't have the flexability to recognize -M and
supply a default 0.

Frankly, I only have a single MIDI input device hooked up at once, and I'd
think this would be a fairly frequent setup. As a result, -M would work 100%
for me and those performing my compositions.

Maybe johnff is working on this? (I wish, I wish.)

Well, you can always just use -M 0. Typing two extra characters is
not really much of a difference.

I have five, and happen not to use the first one.

Then -M 0 works exactly as well, as long as PortMidi is being used (which
is the default).
