Disklavier

Greetings George,

So would it be correct that starting with a SMF that does not have
yamaha meta events it would only be necessary to add a track 1 name
with the desired information? If so I can pretty easily write a
utility to make this pretty easy to do on a batch basis from a
database generated from the files which contains any text information
in them as well as file names. This can be edited by copying and
pasting etc into a format which will then be used by another program
to insert the new track names without having to open the files. I'll
do this if there is interest in such a utility.
