COM-ESEQ Duration Problems

2001-10-23 by Hans Brandner

Dear Disklavier-Specialists,

I am preparing an empirical musicological study, in which I work with the
Yamaha Disklavier MX100II. To manipulate the COM-ESEQ songfiles I studied
the
file format, which seemed to be very easy to understand. But things are not
so easy as they seem....
So I have difficulties with the duration commands. As I understand the format
there are two: F3 and F4. F3 followed by a byte (00-7F) and F4 followed
by two bytes (00-7F), first the low- and than the highbyte.
If this is right I wonder what time measurement hides behind these commands.
Because the values which I get from the file don't fit to the time the
Disklavier shows on its display during the playing of the song.
Can anybody help me?


With kind regards
