Yep, this is apparently a Bug, which has been present in every version of Pd and probably some versions of Max too.
Pd's MIDI parser just ignores everything starting with F0 or higher. (I thought I was dealing with sysex but, having just looked at the code, it looks like I forgot to put that in.)
I'm willing to try to fix this... but I can't really test it since I don't have any gear that spits out messages like that.
How about using the v_midi kernel module? You could pipe the output into another program which can print midi messages.

Well, I haven't heard from anyone, and I don't see anything later than what I have that's relevant in CVS, so, I assume that no news is bad news, and that the PD MIDI parser vomits green blood when you send it Song Position Pointer messages.
... so I guess if you want something done, you gotta do it yourself.
So:
How are bug fixes submitted? (since the midi parser trips and falls when getting an $F2, screwing up for example, the notein object, this isn't just a missing feature, it's a bug)
I suppose I'll also have to make a MIDI object that sends a float when it receives a song position pointer (this I need). And also one that can send song position pointer messages (this I don't need, but I guess I gotta submit anyway for the sake of completeness - grumble grumble).
So, can someone suggest that best procedure who to send it to, in what format, should I put it in the CVS directly, post patch files, send to Miller, etc...?
But honestly, it would motivate me greatly to do a complete and thorough job, if someone would send me some pointers or URLs on how to deal with this hard-tab issue. It seems that the source I got from CVS has actual hard tabs in it, and so far I don't see anything in the CVS docs on how to bypass that so I get a clean copy, nor any mention anywhere in the source files of what the spacing that these hard tabs represent. I truly wish people would stop using these retarded things, but since they still insist, I need advice on how to deal with these "legacy" files.
