i'm no expert in midi, but i want to send midi notes (and durations) from a .mid file to a synth of mine. i see the midifile help has a bunch of stuff for noteOn and noteOff events, but it's confusing to me. if anyone can clarify a bit i'd really appreciate that.

Maybe you mean by delta, finding an algorithm that is able to add delta values between note On and note Off messages?

It's not me that has decided there is no midi note length, it's the midi protocol creators.
you have Note On for playing the note, and Note Off to stop playing the note, how would it be better?
for this reason we often use [stripnote] because [makenote] sends a Note On and a Note Off (the same note with velocity zero)
that's also why there is an object like [poly] that can redistribute those On and Off notes.
Just read about midi protocol!

there is no midi length message, only midi noteOn for begining and midi noteOff message for ending
Of course there is. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the [midifile] object, so I've know idea how to retrieve delta-time values with it. I just felt compelled to write back and confirm that midi files do of course contain timing information, how else would sequencers know when to play the notes?
