Features
  1. Event timestamps can be converted between absolute or delta tick values with the MidiFile::deltaTicks and MidiFile::absoluteTicks functions.
  2. In absolute tick mode, messages can be inserted into tracks in any order and later sorted by timestamp with the MidiFile::sortTracks function.
  3. Multi-track files can be converted to a single track in a reversible process.
  4. Event performance times in seconds can be calculated from tick times and tempo meta messages with the MidiFile::doTimeAnalysis function.
  5. Durations of notes can be extracted using the MidiFile::linkNotePairs function. </ol> </details>
