I hope so Bob, although its been a decade or so since we last typed at each other I think. Apparently you are not subscribed to Dennis's coco list at maltedmedia.com though.

That line didn't trigger my curiosity because its exactly the same for a commercially produced 26 second snippet of Tennessee Flat Top Box that I grabbed from the J-Cash cd AmericanIV "The man comes around", released after he died IIRC. He knew his time was near, and some of that is tear- jerkingly sad, but its pure Johnny Cash too. > > 0 Tempo 428571 > > With this and the BperQ value you can determine the tempo in Beats per > minute.

Humm, found you on google, listened to a snippet of cedars and bought the cd. I'm a sucker for a well blown Sax!

I stripped all those lines out of the .mid file, works well now except that rosegarden has locked me up totally, 3 times while playing a song, in the last 20 hours. 2 different songs. :) Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
