Thanks y'all. (Alice, Bruce, Joe, John, & Dick). I've considered myself to be pretty smart guy, until now. Maybe I can break all this down into digestable kernels. MIDI, ABCMUS, MIDITXT, ASCII, and music theory can't be all that hard to understand. I suspect there is a pot of gold on the far side of the mountain, at the end of this journey. And the journey is just the beginning.
