Carl,

I've just found the MIDI "beat clock" - 24 per crotchet. Still no bar numbers 
though!

Hmm, I’ve been using MIDI on a MacBook using GarageBand.  Apparently Apple has 
added a framework called Core MIDI that adds the concepts of Bars, Beats, and 
SubBeats to the MIDI time stream.  So I always have Bars in mm work.

I suppose that one could make the midi performer ignore \barNumberCheck.  The 
only time I can imagine that would be problematic is if one were only  using 
LilyPond to create a midi file.   And I suppose that as long as it were 
properly documented, users would not expect it to work.

Thanks,

Carl
