[JW Lua] Midi

[Jari Williamsson]

Jon,

Lua is a pretty good language for algorithmic computing, since the 
tables provides great flexibility and efficiency for manipulating data.
It also contain all the basic math features you'd expect in a computer 
language.

You're topic say "Midi", is it any specific MIDI feature you want to use 
in your arrangements?

Anyhow, I'd recommend using the FCNoteEntryLayer class for analytical 
processing like this (at least as the class to retrieve the source note 
line). That class has been specially designed as a tool for notes that 
span over multiple bars on a staff.


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson
