MIDITRACK(N)                           N                          MIDITRACK(N)

NAME
     miditrack - tclmidi command to get information about a MIDI track

SYNOPSIS
     miditrack mfileId track {start|end}

DESCRIPTION
     miditrack is a tclmidi(1) command that gets information about a MIDI
     track.  Currently two types of information can be obtained.  These are
     the time of the first event found in the track, and the time of the last
     event in the track.  The time of the last event in the track might be
     different than that returned by a call to midiget getting the last event
     in a track.  This is because midiget returns NoteOn/NoteOff event pairs
     as a single Note event, and the Note event contains the time of the
     NoteOn event.  miditrack will return the time of the last event in a file
     including NoteOff halves of Note events.

     The first argument to miditrack is a MIDI song identifier.  The second
     argument is a track number of that song, and the last argument is one of
     either "start" or "end".

RETURN VALUES
     miditrack returns the time of the first or last event in a track for the
     start and end options.

NOTES
     miditrack might be expanded in the future to supply other types of
     information about MIDI tracks.
