Portsmf is "Port Standard MIDI File", a cross-platform, C++ library
|
|
for reading and writing Standard MIDI Files.
|
|

|
License information: free and open source, see license.txt for details
|
|
|
|
Features:
|
|
|
|
- input and output of Standard MIDI Files
|
|
- data structures, classes, etc. for representing music data in memory
|
|
o sequence structure consisting of multiple tracks
|
|
o track structure consisting of multiple events
|
|
o events contain note and control data
|
|
o extensible attribute-value property lists
|
|
o tempo track and time signature representation
|
|
- input and output of a text-based representation: Allegro files
|
|
- extensive editing operations on sequences and tracks
|
|
- conversion to/from binary buffers for archiving, undo/redo, etc.
|
|
|
|
Portsmf is a relatively small number of about 9 files, so there is
|
|
currently no support for building/maintaining Portsmf as a separate
|
|
library. (Contributions are welcome.) For now, it is suggested that
|
|
you simply compile these files along with your application sources.
|
|
|
|
There is a test program in portsmf_test and makefiles to build it as
|
|
an example.
|
|
|
|
You might want to browse through portsmf_test/allegro_test.cpp
|
|
for examples that use and exercise most of the portsmf functions.
