actually,

the class comment for MIDIFileWriter actually works - not very extensive, but is nearly infinitely more useful/interesting than NO comment :) an example of helpful documentation, and cheers indeed for code created around 10 ago...AND still working in 4.1 update:10112 !!!

thank you Lushi (AKA Yisrael Lowenstein). 

my original MIDI interest was to be able to convert "scores" with the same/similar format found in the AbstractSound bachFugue examples: to create a MIDI file from scratch - not exactly like the MIDIFileWriter example...

Stéphane pointed out a way to do that in his Mu0 environment... and i am working on my own version fine-tuned to what i want to do in the way that makes most sense to me in the environment which i am creating :)

i also agree that it (Class MIDIFileWriter) should be in the base image, if possible.

PS: this brief sort of documentation is very helpful to me. 

a great example imo is the class comment for: KeyboardMorphForInput. 

KeyboardMorphForInput commentStamp:'nice 3/24/2010 07:37' prior:0...

i do not know who goes by the initials of  'nice' - but whoever it is did a rather decent job. actually extremely well done imo...
and hopefully "someone" could tell me how to search the image for commentStamps created by 'nice'... that would be....

You fired first :)

So yes, MIDIFileWriter will convert a MIDIScore into a MIDI file. It should belong to the base image IMO, since we already have the MIDIFileReader.

MuO is a full-fledged musical composition environment and provide its own representation of MIDI-like data.
