SubjectRe: MIDI Files
Does anyone know why Csound doesn't accept Format 0 files from Cakewalk
(and various other applications, as Todd reports)?  Todd, do the "Format
0" files created on Windows with different applications work between
those applications, and do the files created on the MAC work for those
applications?  What is the difference between a MAC-created and a
Windows-created file with the same MIDI data?  It would be peculiar if
the Windows programs had it all wrong the right way (of all right the
wrong way, I'm getting confused here).
