That makes sense... the SMF marker event is intended to be used for
rehearsal numbers and such, so it would probably be an abuse to coerce it
into use as a bookmark. Actually, as a SysEx, I guess I can create
whatever I want, right? I suppose I should apply to the MMA for a vendor
ID <shudder>.

Well, it's a long weekend; I'll see if I can get a rudimentary event list
viewer (display only, no editing or file I/O) tonight. It would be more
useful to do the SMF I/O first, but I'd like to be able to see what I'm
doing (all backend and no GUI makes Jack a dull boy). Optimally I'd hope
to get SMF I/O done by the end of the weekend, but no promises... there's
a party on Monday...
Cheers,
Div.
