Philip,

Though I'm not an Apple engineer, my guess is that these routines won't be going away when they're obsoleted, they'll be replaced with like named calls and functionality that don't use FSSpec as a file reference.

I'm willing to bet a whole nickle that it's FSSpec that's going away, not the functions themselves.

I've asked this question before and got pointed in a couple directions. However, maybe it's my inexperience getting in the way, but...

If MusicSequenceSaveSMF and MusicSequenceSaveSMFData have both been deprecated in 10.4 and 10.5, then how does one save data to a MIDI/SMF file that all of the Apple music applications will like short of writing everything out byte by byte (which is what I'm doing now but have hit major hurdles that are tough to debug)?

There is everything to say how a file is read, but nothing to say how a file is written, and no docs on where to go from there. I'd even look into creating native Logic and Garageband files if that were possible, but reading this stuff is like reading bad stereo instructions. I'm looking at this page now...

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks
