Seq midiout and MIDI metaevents
I don't seem to be able to record MIDI meta events correctly with seq or
even send them through midiout to Digital Performer's conductor track.
I am iterating a list like this
255 88 4 4 2 24 8
Which is a valid sequence for a meter change to 4/4.
Midiout seems to ignore these messages and seq records them incorrectly as
255 88 0
255 4 0
255 4 0
Etc.

More on the subject and an illustration...
I am working on a sound track for a new film by my wife, Christine. The
title is "Hope" and it deals in an abstract and evocative way with breast
cancer survivorship. Many of the animated images are based on her iris
painting. Prints of one of the painting with be sold by the American Cancer
Society along with a DVD of the film to benefit breast cancer research.
The soundtrack will be a fairly conventional composition for chamber
orchestra initially realized with GPO but I want to make a score with
Sibelius in preparation for a performance by a student ensemble.
I described the problem above in an earlier message. My test patch is at
the end. Neither seq nor midiout interprets metaevents correctly.
This seems to be a bug. The problems I've had earlier with detonate suggest
that C74 might want to have another look at MIDI. A multitrack (file type
1) version of seq is long overdue.
