do you know if there is anyway to get the position (in the same format as loop takes) in the midi file from [xeq_parse] ? i've tried locate but that just sends a slighly incomprehensible message to the terminal?
you might try xeq_time, which should be part of the 0.1 library.
It is to be attached to a named player. So, a xeq_parse needs to have a second creation argument (like in "xeq_parse sq1 pl1"), used as the xeq_time's first argument ("xeq_time pl1").
When banged, xeq_time should report the player's position, right-to-left: next event number, next event time, previous event time, current time.
Hope it works, have not used it since 2002...
