NAME

       smfsh - SMF shell

SYNOPSIS

       smfsh [ -V ] [ file ]

OPTIONS

       -V     Print libsmf version and exit.

       file   Load the file.

DESCRIPTION

       smfsh,  an "SMF shell", is an interactive, command-driven frontend to libsmf, useful for modifying MIDI files by hand.  It started its life
       as a debugging aid for libsmf.

       There are four groups of commands: SMF level, track level, event level, and others.

SMF LEVEL COMMANDS

       SMF level commands display or change properties of smf (i.e. the MIDI file) as a whole.

       save file
	      Save a file.  If the file name is not given, the last file name is used.

	      Note that this will not ask for confirmation.

       load file
	      Load a file.  If the file name is not given, the last file name is used.

	      Instead of using "load", you can pass the file name on the command line.

       ppqn new-ppqn
	      Show (if used without parameter) or change PPQN (Pulses Per Quarter Note, aka Division).

       format new-format
	      Show (if used without parameter) or change format.

       tempo  Show tempo map.  Tempo map is computed automatically from the SMF contents - to modify a tempo, just add a Tempo Change event  using
	      "add" command.

       length Show total length of the song.  Just like the tempo map, file length is computed from the SMF contents.

TRACK LEVEL COMMANDS

       Track level commands display or change properties of tracks.  SMF may contain one or more tracks.

       tracks Show the list of tracks in the SMF.

       track track-number
	      Show  details  of  a  track  (if	called	without  parameter), or select track with a given number - for example in order to display
	      ("events") the events it contains.

       trackadd
	      Create new track.

       trackrm track-number
	      Remove the track.  If the track number is not given, this will remove the track currently selected.

EVENT LEVEL COMMANDS

       Event level commands display or change properties of events.  Events are grouped into tracks.  Track may  contain  any  number  of  events,
       including zero.

       events Show the list of events in the current track.

       event event-number
	      Show information about a current event (if used without parameter) or select the event.

       add time-in-seconds midi-message-as-hex
	      Add new event to the currently selected track.

       rm event-number
	      Remove the event.  If the event number is not given, this will remove the event currently selected.

OTHER COMMANDS

       There are three commands in the "other" category - "help", "version", and "exit".  Their meaning should be self expanatory.
