MIDI wasn't made to play Ornette Coleman compositions.

And what's called (Free) Jazz nowadays usually has nothing to do with
music. They even call Mike Patton a Jazz or at least an avant garde
musician, for my taste he isn't a musician at all. MIDI was made to
produce pop music and Linux MIDI sequencers have several weak points,
that other MIDI sequencers don't have. 12-tone is something different,
but you likely will use hard disk recording and less MIDI for 12-tone
music too.

And common for many, if not most Jazz compositions too. However, you can
use MIDI for 7/8 as good as for 4/4. Perhaps you used the wrong
sequencers or I didn't notice that your post is just an April Fools'
joke.
