Re: musictrack properties

I'm curious about some issues relating to track properties as well.
The ID definitions (near the Get/Set methods in MusicPlayer.h) define 5
properties:
kSequenceTrackProperty_LoopInfo
kSequenceTrackProperty_OffsetTime
kSequenceTrackProperty_MuteStatus
kSequenceTrackProperty_SoloStatus
kSequenceTrackProperty_AutomatedParameters

- The header comments also mention a text property. Does this property
actually exist, and is there an API to set it?

- The loop property works great except that it does not seem to be in any
way converted to MIDI or exported with SMF export. Should any of these
properties affect MIDI export, or is the MusicTrack property a MusicPlayer-specific
thing?

- Should the solo property work if tracks are addressing different nodes
(e.g. different DLS units)?

Thanks for any help. This API is fantastic, my app owes a lot to it.

There are some track properties in MusicPlayer.h (I think they are down the bottom of the file :)

The Player currently only supports beats for time - if you set the tempo to 60 (bpm), then a beat is a second..., etc...

Where the heck do you find info about MusicTrack properties???.
MusicPlayer.h implies you can set them, but I couldn't find all the
propertyID's and values.. For example, it took me awhile to realize that
timestamp interpretation defaults to beats in a track. How do I change the
behavior so that I can insert events at a certain time rather than a certain
beat? The section "NOTES ON PROPERTIES" in MusicPlayer.h seemed particularly
incomprehensible.

Other than that, MusicPlayer is working really well for my simple needs...

TIA
