The best documentation for CoreMIDI (and indeed this seems to be the
case with just about all the frameworks) is in the framework header
files.
Yes, if you command click on an API, Xcode takes you to the header, but
you need to know the API already.
So, STFHF*.

You can search them in XCode using Command-Shift-F (FindInProject)
and making sure you have 'Project and Frameworks' selected in the
'Search' popup... you may want to tweak other settings like 'Textual
Search' vs. Definitions' depending on what you're looking for and
whether you know what it's called.
Regular Expressions searches are very, very useful. For example, you
can narrow down searches for types to the original definition.
Also, my favorite trick (when I'm using the XCode/PB editor, which
isn't often) is to Option-Click on an identifier to be taken to its
header file automagically.
In my Xcode, option click takes me to the docs, command click takes me
to the header. Which brings me to a strange point about the Xcode Doc
Window. If I option click on say MIDIPortConnectSource the MIDIServices
doc is loaded into the Doc Window. If I do a search for
MIDIPortConnectSource from the Doc Window it turns up nothing. So
there's obviously still a few wrinkles to iron out. (When aren't there
of course, this is the real world - well it was last time I checked - I
think -)
