<div>That's safe, I think. The internal resolution of
devices may of course be higher, and often is. 96 pulses
per quarter note isn't uncommon.</div>

<div>Let me clarify this a bit more; it's 24 pulses per quarter
note, not per "beat". How this is interpreted is up to the
composer and the listener. MIDI lacks a way to convey either
of the numbers in a normal time-signature indication and only
conveys the passing of time relative to quarter notes (or
sixteenth, or....).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Higher level information needs to be agreed on by all
participants by (gasp :¬) ) actually talking with each other
and entered manually into all devices. Most of the time this
poses no issues because the devices will still be set to the
exact settings that Greg assumed and 4/4 at 100 to 200 bpm is
lots of fun. These would be good defaults, but waltzing and
5/8 can be great fun as well.</div>

As fluxus is quite tied to the "experimental" scene, I guess I'll
have to address this...

I've found this: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://ogloton.free.fr/midi/messages_systeme.html">http://ogloton.free.fr/midi/messages_systeme.html</a>
<br>
It seems "time signature" and "bar marker" messages exist... I have
to understand what they do exactly ^^ and I'll come back with a
proposal for new functions!
