Thanks for the encouragement. ;-) But I already realized that coding for
Midi2 can be... interesting. Is there a list of known bugs/problems?

Let us know when you put it up, I'd be interested in reading your ideas.

I'll have to do much more MIDI programming on BeOS before I'll be able to
do API design, currently I can't really judge what should be done
better/differently. Well, I'll just wait 'til you post your ideas, maybe
inspiration will hit me when reading them. :)
