Re: Ticks per unit issue

Hi Raphaël,
many thanks for your reply, but Lisandro's answer did solve it. Midish can 
change ppq (setunit) internally and it will adapt the whole song.

The midish file is not MEANT to be read by humans. So everything in there is 
perfectly fine, it's just the kind of data Midish will use under the hood.
4 384 is not a time signature, but the number of ticks per quarter notes, 
which fits 1536 ticks for four quarter notes.

Thanks and best wishes,

Jeanette
