It would be capable of representing note-on note-on note-off note-off on four consecutive beats, but those wouldn't represent the aforementioned dotted-half and quarter notes any more than they'd represent two half notes that start a beat apart. | |

Many music applications try to provide a bridge between these levels - capable of talking to devices, but so that musicians understand what they're doing. | |

I actually did not think of round-robin! I had more "drones" in mind… | |
