Hi Ziggy and Todor.
I get the digest so I dunno if this reply will go to the list
correctly. Oh well, everyone else seems to quote HERKIN messages with
no editing so I won't bother feeling guilty if this looks ugly :)

If you want to do your own sequencer (as I do), you can check
out some of the code I've posted on another list:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MidiDev/join
(you'll have to sign up for a yahooid and join the group)
It has a c++ win32 API class (hack) to use DirectMusic's timer and
do your own tempo/timestampin biz...
What you and I are DOING, is basically reinventing the wheel, but
oh well, sometimes that's worthwhile - even if it's just for the
fun of crafting that second wheel :)
My version of the wheel will never hold a candle to Todor's, but
heck, it's a fun way to spend my time... Why should Microsoft guys
be the only ones to have fun with this? ;)

So how did you expect other sequencer engine developers to work
with timing? What clock would be best to listen to?
I guess not the DirectMusic one or the multimedia timer one...
Which should I use? Please point me in the right direction :)
